The same thing happened to me. I am one year post onset and I can only look after one of my kids twice a week for about 5 hours. In addition to that all I do is a bit of housework. How does this compare to your recovery timeline? How long was it until you were mostly recovered? Do you mind me asking what meds you take? What symptoms were the worst or you? Mine are the perpetual anxiety and chest pain(OI I am getting used to).

I developed hyperadrenergic POTS in my third trimester. At the time it was thought to be preeclampsia but then after my C section, I had severe anxiety and a standing hr of over 150 (plus high standing BP). About 2 weeks post c section I was hospitalized. I was very I'll for about 6 months but now at the 13 month stage I have been well enough to leave the house. I need help with looking after my children but I am gradually improving. When I first read that quote from Wikipedia I cried for about three hours straight thinking I wouldn't get better. I am new on this site and would love to hear more about others who have gotten POTS through pregnancy as I haven't a clue what my progosis is or how I should be treated. I live in Oz and am too I'll to travel to the US for diagnosis and treatment.

I seem to be opposite to everyone also. Pregnancy caused my POTS and I did have complications (low birth weight baby). It is very frustrating that there is not more information in the literature about this topic.
