Brief Answer:
Dont worry, get a detailed anomaly scan at 20 weeks

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing..
I understand your concern..

I would like to know how was your thyroid levels and sugar levels in the early pregnancy.. Could you upload those for me or email them to YYYY@YYYY and tell the CRM team to upload it to Query ID: 151515?

You need to get the thyroid level controlled by taking drugs.. Sugar level should be maintained under control.. Fasting less than 110 and postprandial less than 140..

If the thyroid level and sugar level is controlled, then you need not worry.. Your baby is less likely to be affected.. Get a detailed anomaly scan at 20 weeks to rule out any anomalies..

Hope I have answered your query..Feel free to ask any doubts...Good day..
