Low thyroids in early pregnancy

[Kimberlee_20]

I had blood work yesterday, and I called my OB early today to make sure everything came back okay, and she said my thyroids were low. She said it's normal in early pregnancy but I honestly don't even have a clue what that means, and if it's really bad and she just doesn't want me to worry. I go back on monday to get more blood drawn to see if it's normal. Has anyone else had this problem?

yeah I have more blood work on monday, but i didnt know if i should take like the thyroid supplements or whatever? I just don't want it to affect the baby - I'll just wait til monday and see what they say I guess. Thank you! :]

you are talking abt your tsh rite? see if your tsh level is heigh then it is called hypothyroid and if your level is low then called hyperthyroid or overavtivate. usualy in early pregnancy tsh level ups. and this is pretty common. i thin your docotr shoud start medication for that because thyroid level affects baby growth.
