I have thyroid since 3 years and now im 2 months pregnant. Someone in my family said pregnancy se thyroid theek ho jata hai, is that even true? Just curious because my doc actually increased my dose, so im confused.
Oh, I'm also trying to understand all these things about pregnancy. I heard that thyroid can be tricky during pregnancy and needs extra care. Does it really get 'cured' or is it just managed differently? I thought doc always monitors it more closely, so I was a bit confused by your question.
No, I don't think so, actually. My gynac specifically told me that if you have thyroid issues, you need even more regular blood tests during pregnancy because the levels can fluctuate a lot. It makes me a bit anxious, but she said it's very manageable with medication. Have you checked with your doctor about this specifically, or are you just asking generally?
Hmm, I've heard some older relatives talk about how some things 'fix themselves' during pregnancy. But for serious conditions like hypothyroidism, my saas also said to always trust the doctor. Pregnancy actually puts more stress on your thyroid. So you must keep taking your medicines and doing regular check-ups as your doctor advises, don't listen to old wives tales for this.
Actually, no, pregnancy itself doesn't cure hypothyroidism. In fact, for many of us, thyroid levels need even more careful monitoring and adjustment during pregnancy. My doc increased my dosage and we had blood tests almost every month. It's super important to follow your endocrinologist and gynac closely, it's not something to take lightly.
Pregnancy brings so many changes, right? But for something like hypothyroidism, it's usually about managing it carefully throughout, not curing it. My doctors were very particular about all my health parameters to ensure a smooth pregnancy and then my C-section recovery. So continuous monitoring and medication adjustment is key, according to them.
