Carmen has just given birth to her third child, and as with the first two, she stayed home and used the services of a nurse-midwife. While her recovery from the births of the first two children was normal and she was able to breast-feed both for two years, she is not lactating this time and is experiencing other difficulties. Her symptoms also include vomiting, fatigue, cold intolerance, and

myxedema, which worsen over the coming weeks. She ignored her midwife's suggestion to see her doctor the day after giving birth, but has finally gone to an Ob-Gyn during the third week postpartum. Her newborn baby is healthy and thriving on human breast milk purchased from a milk bank.
