Is it true PCOS goes away after having a baby?

[ellen13]

Hi ladies, I got diagnosed only 4 year back . But I've amazingly fallen pregnant. I'm happy. Someone told me that after having a baby PCOS goes away? Is this true?

No. It never goes away. Your thinking of endometriosis.

My PCOS has now caused type 2 diabetes.

Hi,

Congratulations, that is fantastic news, as it is so difficult to conceive with PCOS. I too was fortunate enough to get pregnant after being told for years it would never happen. I don't know if it goes away mine didn't. but that's not to say it can't, maybe the symptoms change after a pregnancy. Maybe your midwife can tell you or at least can find out for you.

enjoy your pregnancy

take care

I don't believe it goes away but I think symptoms can change.

Congratulations.
