Hi all
I am 8.5 weeks pregnant with no. 2. After no.1 I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease (underactive thyroid).
So far I am feeling dreadfully sick and very tired, I know this is associated with 1st trimester but I am wondering how early on the hormones can affect the thyroid.
Seeing midwife on Monday so will request bloods as I know if things get worse it could affect baby???? I am anxious to ensure my thyroxine is at correct levels.
Just wondered if anyone has been through the same, what care did you receive, when did you have your first blood test done in pregnancy and how often were you monitored?
Thanks.
