I've had 2 blood tests whilst pregnant which have shown a significant rise in my thyroid levels, the most recent at 22 weeks when it was up to 17.5 from 14 at 6 weeks, and 12 preconception. Tsh has been

i used to be hyperthyroid, but its been normal for over a year. i'm seeing an endocrinologist every trimester, and having tests done. but not sure what happens if yours is overactive. though you should be on meds, that one beginning with p, cant remember how to spell it! but otherwise i think its a waiting game to see what happens close to birth. they'll prob want to keep an eye on the baby after birth too so be prepared for a stay in hospital!

I don't mind staying in after the birth, tbh the fact that someone cooks my meals is a huge plus! And much as I love my dh I just know it will be "I'm just nipping out to do x for the business" leaving me with all 3 kids! So at least in hospital I'm not expected to actually do anything other than look after myself and the baby!
I wouldn't be so bothered if they were treating it, or even if they had discussed when they were planning on treating it or even when I need to come back for another blood test! All I got from the receptionist about the results were "your thyroid is abnormal and we would like you to arrange to see your midwife more often for the rest of the pregnancy"

I'd suggest you push your midwife and GP for a referral to an endocrinologist ASAP. They are the experts.

Best of luck.
