I have thyroid since before and now that im pregnant my levels are going up and down. doc has adjusted things but honestly thoda confused and worried hu. anyone else managed thyroid during pregnancy, how did it go for u?
The easiest way to manage this is to set a daily alarm at 6 AM, swallow the prescribed pill, and sleep for another half hour. Don't skip your regular blood tests even if you are busy, because baby's development depends on it. It literally takes 2 minutes of your day.
Honestly, there is no home remedy for thyroid in pregnancy, you just have to take the daily empty-stomach tablet prescribed by your doctor. Get your TSH blood test done every 4-6 weeks as your dose might need adjustment. It's a very simple routine, just don't forget it.
Gosh, I used to forget if I took my thyroid pill or not because of my crazy pregnancy brain! Trust me, just take the medicine your doctor gave, don't try any weird diets. Write it down on a calendar daily so you don't double-dose like I almost did!
Beta, thyroid during pregnancy is very sensitive and you must follow your doctor's medicine strictly. Along with your daily pill, you can eat some soaked coriander seeds water in the morning, but never skip your main medicine. Take care of yourself.
Oh, my thyroid went crazy with my twins! You just have to gulp that tiny pill first thing in the morning and wait 30 minutes before having tea. Keep your medicine on your bedside table with a water bottle so you don't forget it in your morning brain-fog.
I know it's so hard to take that empty stomach pill when you feel like throwing up every morning. Try to keep a small sip of water handy, swallow the medicine quickly, and lie down for a bit. Please discuss with your gynac if you are struggling to keep the medicine down.
