    You must get your Hypothyroidism treated. Don’t want to run the risk of losing your child. Get a second opinion if necessary.

    Physicians have long since known about the link between mothers and hypothyroidism medications taken during pregnancy. They can cause developmental retardation in the children after they are born. This was seem most in the new mothers who came from areas that were lacking in Iodine. Iodine is necessary to produce the thyroid hormone and is a very common part of the salt that is in our foods. This was also noticed in patients with autoimmune thyroid disease much like Hashimotos Thyroiditis.

    Please always listen to your inner voice. If you ever have any doubts about anything then by all means get yourself a second opinion.

    I have my thyroid tested at my OBGYN appointment. You will definitely want to get this treated. You can possibly face the significant increase in the chance of a miscarriage, pre-term labor and even low birth weight due to your hypothyroidism. These can even lead to the child having some developmental issues.

    From what I understand, it is easy to treat. But you need to take it seriously. Once treated, I would expect that you would carry on having a normal and healthy pregnancy.
