Comprehensive Postpartum Panel
Comprehensive Postpartum Panel
Our Postpartum Lab Panel is designed to support new mothers as they navigate the physical and emotional challenges following childbirth. After pregnancy, it's common to experience lingering fatigue, hormonal shifts, nutrient deficiencies, and anemia. Factors like sleep deprivation, changes in thyroid function, and the heightened risk of postpartum thyroid disease and diabetes can contribute to ongoing discomfort. This panel is ideal for mothers who are 6+ weeks postpartum and may be experiencing symptoms such as:
- Persistent fatigue, brain fog, or difficulty concentrating
- Mood swings, depression, or anxiety
- Low energy levels despite adequate rest
- Hair loss or skin changes
- Muscle aches, weakness, or joint pain
- Sudden weight changes or appetite fluctuations
This panel is tailored to assess the nutritional, hormonal, and metabolic markers essential to postpartum recovery, helping to identify areas where targeted support can make a difference in well-being. The comprehensive lab panel includes:
- Iron Total and Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC)
- Vitamin D
- Magnesium
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids
- TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone)
- Free T4
- Thyroid Antibodies (to screen for autoimmune thyroid disease)
- Folate
- Vitamin B12 and Vitamin B6
- Ferritin (reflecting stored iron)
- Estrogen and Progesterone
- Lipid Panel (assessing cholesterol and triglyceride levels)
- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) (providing insight into kidney and liver function, blood sugar, and electrolyte balance)
This panel can help new mothers identify and address imbalances, deficiencies, or other health concerns, providing a roadmap for achieving optimal postpartum health and energy.
