Kimmy,

How old is the baby? Sometimes the post pregnancy hormones fluctuate wildly until your body settles down and this can go on for about 6 to 8 months post delivery. Are your MG symprtoms stable or fluctuating? If you get no anwers it might be time to see your OB and have a progesterone level drawn. If you are seeing an endocrinologist that is good and he might also take this into consideration. If you start having other emotional swings it might definitely be time to think about postpartum issues - these problems don't magically stop the day you deliver and with your whole metabolic and immune system wanting to do it's own thing you need to be more careful than most new Moms about postpartum depression. Take care and get well.
