I just had a baby 4 months ago, is experiencing debilitating fatigue normal?

I am 41 and recently just had a baby boy 4 months ago. I also have a 20 month old daughter. Both my children were born by c-section. My problem postpartum has been debilitating fatigue were I feel I just can’t get out of bed and sleep for example for 12 hrs or more. I am not sleep deprived as my husband gets up with the baby. What I find is after one day of going out activity I am bedridden with debilitating fatigue the next day. This fatigue lasts all day and night and I find my upper arms ache. I recently had blood work done and the results are uploaded in an image. Thank you

Hi,
I want to know if you have done a full thyroid profile not only T.S.H ?
your tests seems fine, however vitamin D3 deficiency can cause this? so do you get enough vitamin D from sun and food?

Hi .
Get a thyroid profile done..
Also are you gaining weight?
Do you eat well?
How much are you exposed to sun?
How much water do you drink a day?

Please revert back..
