Are we overtreating subclinical hypothyroidism in pregnancy?

Question

I'm concerned about certain medical conditions during pregnancy and how they are managed. Does anyone know about managing subclinical hypothyroidism in pregnancy and if there are different views on treatment approaches?

Just keep a positive mind and take care of your health. If the doctor has prescribed the medication, it is best to take it for the baby's safety.

I had severe thyroid complications during my pregnancy, so I would highly suggest not ignoring even mild levels. Please follow your doctor's advice carefully.

Actually, guidelines suggest keeping TSH under 2.5 during pregnancy to avoid any developmental issues for the baby. It's not overtreatment, just preventive care.

Honestly, I could barely remember my own name back then, but taking that tiny thyroid pill was a daily must. Trust your gynac on this one!

Take the medicine doc gives you, beta. You can also drink coriander seed water in the morning, it is a very good home remedy for thyroid.

Madhumita Phadke · Answer

I was on a very low dose of thyroid medicine throughout my months. My baby is perfectly healthy, so please stay relaxed.

With my two kids, I realized doctors never take chances with hormones. It's better to take the small pill than risk any issues later.
