I have hypothyroidism and have had 2 children, this is my third and have never had a problem.. as long as it's well controlled and watched throughout your pregnancy, there isn't a problem!

I have hypothyroidism and it affects it a little but don't worry.  My doctor had to draw blood every month and then I had to have ultrasounds almost every time.  The baby's can sometimes grow littler.  I have two girls and never had a problem.  I got to see my girls way more than most people get to see there kids in the womb

Depends...I had terrible thyroid storms with my daughter back in 2006. It caused me to go into heart failure and have to have emergency c-section at 7.5 months. She died 3 days later. She had heart complications and was only 1.5 pounds. Since than, I had to have my thyroid removed.  My last pregnancy was okay and he turned out fine on medication. I nursed him until 21 months. He never tested for high thyroid.  I had 2 miscarriages in last year due to low thyroid.  Now pregnant at 15 weeks 5 days and baby is fine. My thyroid fluctuate's a lot so have to get tested every 6 weeks and adjust medicine.  Hope this helped.
