hypothyroid 7 wks - worried (again!) lack of major morning sickness

[Clarella]

Hi, I know a RIDICULOUS thing to worry about, but right now I could make worrying an olympic sport and win 3 gold medals!

It's the excruciating lack of info for early pregnant Hypothyroidism - I feel I'm circling the ramparts of the consultants fortress until the second trimester!

A lot of hypo ladies describe very bad m/s - unless as my levels were good at conception and then I was increased by 25 mcg my hormones are doing well?

Ive been off foods at times and sometimes get that 'i need to eat something dry and salty to avoid feeling queasy' but that's it. However most people with Hypothyroidism seem to get very bad ms.

Anyone else experienced this?

My booking will be at 8+5 wks and shes already said she doesnt know much about thyroid in Pregnancy but i'll be referred on.

Thanks in advance, sorry for the worrying!

Nope not me! I'm only 6 weeks (well 6+5). Got aaages to go!

maples according to guidelines your TSH during pg should be 0.5-2.0 so yours sounds perfect for TTC! I'm having my bloods checked on Wednesday before we really start trying for a DC2 .

Congrats to everyone on the thread on their babies!

Just wanted to say that it's very important your levels are checked at 36wks too - this interesting Dutch study found that undertreating hypothyroidism links to complications in labour. I took this article to my GP at 34 weeks and she was happy for me to have my bloods done yet again - they were fine, and DD arrived via a VB with just gas and air. But worth checkingyour bloods again at about the point you're packing your hospital bag!

minipie the endo I saw in December (pre BFP) seemed to think that upon pregnancy my thyroid care would be managed in the community i.e. by the GP and midwife - he didn't seem to know I'd be referred to obs. So I imagine either it's more of a specialist obstetrics area than general endocrinology, or maybe a different endo usually manages preggos?? gives the endo benefit of the doubt

It's unbelievable isn't it?

Blondie thanks for that link, I'll print it out and keep hold of it just in case. Looks like every one of us is up against this ignorance

aw thanks maples just hoping it sticks!

ooh, thanks maples - had a hunt but can't find it? which MN section is it in or could you do a link

aha, didn't look there cheers

I'll have a look too.

Hopefully, can't hurt anyway :)
