Can pcos occur after pregnancy?

My thyroid and hormones went totally haywire post-delivery, and doctor diagnosed me with PCOS. Regular medical checkups and blood tests are super important after baby arrives.

Our bodies go through such massive changes after giving birth, it's completely valid to feel confused about new symptoms. Please don't blame yourself if PCOS shows up now.
