I have hypothyroid since 2 yrs and take my tablet daily. Just found out im pregnant and now worried na if the medicine is safe for baccha. Anyone here with thyroid, did u continue same?
In our family, my saas was thoda worried about daily English medicines. But my gynac explained that these tablets are actually safe and essential for the baby. I took mine every single morning without fail.
My consultant at the hospital explained that thyroid medicine is absolutely vital for the baby's brain development. You need to get your TSH checked every month as the dose changes. Please clarify this with your clinic staff.
Elders in my family were slightly hesitant about daily tablets, but my doctor told me that maintaining thyroid levels is very important. I trusted her completely and took them throughout. Please don't stop the medicine without consulting your doctor.
When I was staying at my parents' place, my mother made sure I had my thyroid pill first thing in the morning with warm water. It doesn't harm the baby at all, in fact, it protects the pregnancy. Do keep taking it regularly.
Don't worry dear, just stay positive and take your medicines on time as prescribed by the doctor. It is just a hormone that keeps you and your baby healthy. God will take care of everything, stay happy.
