My recent reports showed thyroid is high and im 14 weeks now. Im a little tensed about how it affects baby. Going back to doc soon but wanted to hear from anyone who managed thyroid in pregnancy.
While you must take the doctor's medicine daily, you can also support your health by eating home-cooked meals and avoiding too much cabbage or cauliflower. But never alter your dose without asking your doctor.
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in my second month and was so scared. I took the tiny empty-stomach tablet daily as prescribed, and my levels became normal very quickly. Just deliver safely first!
Oh my god, I panicked so much when my TSH came out high! But honestly, don't worry, the medicine is super safe for the baby and keeps things stable, just take it exactly on time every morning.
Make sure you get your thyroid levels checked regularly, as the lab tests can be expensive if you don't plan. Buy a monthly package if your hospital offers one, and never skip the cheap daily tablet prescribed by the doctor.
With my twins, managing thyroid was just one more thing on my daily list, haha! Just pop that tiny pill first thing in the morning, wait for 30 minutes before your tea, and you are good to go.
I had thyroid during my pregnancy and had a C-section later. The thyroid didn't cause any issues with my delivery because I kept it under control with regular doctor visits and medication.
My endocrinologist explained that the baby depends on maternal thyroid hormones in the early months. That's why regular blood tests every 4-6 weeks are crucial to adjust your dosage, so please follow your doctor's exact plan.
I am trying to conceive and just found out I have minor thyroid. My doctor said it's very manageable with daily medication, so hopefully, it will be fine once I get pregnant.
Thyroid cannot be 'cured' at home during pregnancy, you must strictly check with your gynac. They will prescribe the exact thyroid medication dosage which is safe for you and the baby.
