Pregnancy And Thyroid

Posted on Sun Oct 19, 2008

Pregnancy and Thyroid Levels
A woman's body increases its demand for thyroid hormone during the first half of pregnancy. This increased need can begin as early as a woman's first missed period. Women with thyroid problems need to increase the amount of their thyroid drug during this time and should see a doctor immediately upon realizing they are pregnant. They should also discuss treatments options prior to becoming pregnant. Low levels of thyroid hormones can cause problems with your baby's neurological development and ensuring that your body has the right amount of this hormone is crucial during your pregnancy.
