My mom and sister both have thyroid issues so im a little worried it might come up for me too now that im expecting. is there any way to keep it in check before it starts? wanted to hear from others na
With my history I was a bit worried about thyroid too, so I just made sure to get tested on time and stayed in touch with my doctor. I'd say don't try to manage it on your own, regular follow-up is what helps.
Honestly it's not something you prevent by lifestyle alone, the main thing is testing for it early and following up. A balanced diet and your regular checkups are your best bet.
You can't really prevent it but you can catch it early, that's what mattered for me. I had it and regular thyroid blood tests plus my medicine dose adjustments kept everything smooth, so don't skip those checkups.
My gynac said thyroid often comes down to hormones and isn't always preventable, but getting tested early in pregnancy is key. If it's caught they manage it well with regular monitoring.
From what I understand it's more about early detection than prevention. Keep up with your prenatal blood tests and let your doctor guide the rest, that's the safest route.
