thyroid!!!!!! :(

Anyone else having thyroid issues during pregnancy. I just got a call my thyroid levels are high and im worried

[Lilseamonkey]

Then you should be fine hon :) just take your medicine the right way and everything will even out. Usually you take it in the morning half an hour before you eat and with a lot of water. Dr will probably check it again in 6 weeks :)

[felicialynne11]

So far yes

[Lilseamonkey]

Yeah if it's high, it's harder to gain weight. I have a slow thyroid and have had it most of my life so I'm over weight. Did they say that baby was healthy other than your thyroid problem?

[felicialynne11]

They told me this is the reason I haven't gained weight

[Lilseamonkey]

It's not dangerous. Thyroid is a gland that controls hormones and weight. if you need the medicine though, baby needs it. To keep both of you healthy, it'll probably go back to normal once you have baby

[felicialynne11]

How dangerous is it to myself and the baby

[Lilseamonkey]

Yeah mines low, just take your medicine right and it's no big deal.

I had elevated thyroid levels in the beginning of my pregnancy, but they went back down to normal after a few weeks. They'll give you medicine to balance it out if they stay elevated.
