Hello. It's all over the news today that a Lancet study is suggesting that mild iodine deficiency during pregnancy could be dimming the intellect of some babies born in the UK.
We realise this might be a bit worrying to anyone who's pregnant - and we'd like to whip together a helpful content page of info and advice.
To help us make it as useful as possible, we'd love to hear from you, too. Please tell us what questions you have about all this - anything from why it's a concern to what changes you might need to make to your diet in pregnancy - and we'll make sure you get the answers on the page we build.
Oh, and just to add the obvious rider: if you do have any concerns about the amount of iodine in your diet, you should consult your GP.
Get updates on how your baby develops, your body changes, and what you can expect during each week of your pregnancy by signing up to the Mumsnet Pregnancy Newsletters.
