Hoping someone can help me know what to expect. I was diagnosed hypothyroid (secondary to pituitary empty sella) between my 2 pregnancies. I'm now taking thyroxine and have been closely monitored throughout this pregnancy.
I'm pretty sure they'll be doing blood tests on me after the birth (ELCS for good reasons) to check T4 levels but are they likely to want to test the baby too?
DD1 had to have a cannula after she was born for blood tests as I had an infection. I wasn't really prepared emotionally for it and just want to know what's likely to happen this time.
TIA :-)
