I have a thyroid condition and recently found out I'm pregnant. My doctor mentioned it's important to monitor it closely. How exactly does thyroid affect pregnancy and what should I be aware of?
With my PCOS, I had to keep a close watch on my thyroid too as they often go hand-in-hand. Thyroid levels can affect baby's brain development in early stages, so keeping it controlled with daily medication is super important. Don't worry, with proper pills, it is completely safe.
Oh my god, when I got my high TSH report, I was literally crying and googling all night, thinking the worst! But my gynac explained that as long as you take your thyroid medicine empty stomach every morning, the baby is absolutely safe. Please don't stress like I did, just take your pill regularly!
I have been popping that tiny thyroid pill every single morning, and honestly, it's the only routine I haven't messed up in this sleepy 3rd trimester! It's super common and as long as you test every month, baby is absolutely fine. Just look forward to meeting your little one!
I used my app to track my monthly TSH tests because thyroid levels keep fluctuating during pregnancy. My app reminded me to take my dose 30 mins before my morning tea. As long as your doctor adjusts your dosage according to monthly blood reports, you have nothing to worry about.
During pregnancy, baby depends on the mother for thyroid hormones, especially in the 1st trimester. Uncontrolled thyroid can lead to complications like high BP or early labor, which is why doctors test TSH levels right away. If your TSH is high, a tiny daily tablet makes everything perfectly normal.
