TIP 4: WHY YOU NEED TO GET YOUR HYPOTHYROIDISM
CONDITION TREATED BEFORE CONCEIVING CHILDREN

If you are thinking about becoming pregnant and have
symptoms of low thyroid, it is crucial that you get
your thyroid levels corrected before you even conceive.
If you are trying to get pregnant right now and cannot,
it could be because you hypothyroidism is making you
infertile.  Studies show that women with low thyroid
have trouble getting pregnant, and that proper
thyroid supplementation can help achieve pregnancy.
Infertility is yet another hypothyroid symptom amongst
many others.

What happens if you become pregnant while being
hypothyroid?  Well, you will stress your body even
further and may have to deal with other unwanted symptoms.
A study in the Journal of Medical Screening attributed
six out of every 100 late miscarriages to an undiagnosed
hypothyroid condition in the mother.  If you have had
miscarriages, this could be the problem.

You could have worse symptoms while pregnant or you may feel better (everyone is different).  Progesterone is very high during pregnancy and you may feel happier--I
noticed I was giddy many days while being pregnant both times, although I was dealing with terrible fatigue and extreme anemia (another symptom of hypo) with my second
pregnancy.

Being hypothyroid while pregnant may mean you will have more symptoms to deal with after the baby is born.  I know I did. When you nurse your baby, your baby may become hypothyroid also. Thyroid hormone is the only hormone passed through breast milk--a baby who isn’t
getting enough thyroid hormone will be small and sleep
too much, plus has a lower IQ.  This info is from a
double-blind study in which they tested the IQs of 5-6
year olds they had followed since birth, and the thyroid
condition of the mothers.

Because thyroid hormone is the only hormone a nursing
mother passes to her baby in her breast milk, many women
become hypothyroid while nursing.  But if a woman is not
hypothyroid to begin with, she will not necessarily
become hypothyroid from nursing.

Women with postpartum low thyroid often go on to develop
permanent autoimmune hypothyroidism and their babies may be permanently damaged by their deficiency. It is vital
to be treated before becoming pregnant and if you find
out you are hypothyroid after pregnancy, it is imperative
you get treatment right away.    

Is natural thyroid safe to use while pregnant or nursing?
Natural dessicated thyroid is not like taking a medication,
it is a natural hormone that the body requires.  There are
no toxicity problems or allergic reactions involved, because
our own bodies produce thyroid. There probably is nothing
that is any safer.  Of course you will want to check with
your doctor first before starting any supplements.
