My recent blood test showed my thyroid levels are off and im a first time mom so im freaking out a little. Started medication already but i just want to know is this common in pregnancy? would feel better hearing from others who had the same.
My doctor said thyroid issues show up or worsen in pregnancy fairly often, which is why they test for it early. It is easily controlled with the right medicine and monitoring. She stressed never skipping the tablet and going for the repeat tests on time.
Yes it is quite common, I had thyroid through my whole pregnancy and it was managed well with medicine. The main thing is regular blood tests and taking your dose exactly as prescribed. With proper follow up my baby and I were perfectly fine, so dont panic.
Dont worry beta, it is very common and totally manageable. Many women have it during pregnancy and do absolutely fine with treatment. Just stay regular with your tests and your gynac's advice.
