Reply To: Hypothyroidism

Hi! Congrats!! Medication is definitely necessary in this case. Be sure to take it separate from your prenatal vitamin. Check out the note on thyroid nutrition here: https://new.theprenatalnutritionlibrary.com/thyroid-nutrition/ – this will help you with what nutrients to focus on. I would recommend checking your iron and vitamin D levels as well. I can’t provide individualized guidance here but if you can work with a nutrition specialist one to one, this is recommended. Proper thyroid function during pregnancy is absolutely critical as you are supporting yourself and baby during the whole first half of pregnancy with your thyroid!
