I developed mild hypothyroidism after birth of DS (now 2.5) and am being treated with 50mg per day of thyroxine.
I've been asking for thyroid levels to be tested since the start of the pregnancy and the hospital have lost/otherwise messed up the THREE tests which we have sent them. I'm furious and absolutely panic-stricken now, because having surfed the net, I see vague references to "neurological difficulties" "lower IQ" etc. Also it all seems too late now - I'm now 27 weeks, and I see now that the key stage for it being important is first trimester.
The GPs surgery took another test today and I hope to have results tomorrow. But in the meantime I'm pretty hysterical about this - has anyone got decent advice on or faced this issue before?
