Hello
For first 20 weeks of pregnancy baby can not produce enough thyroid hormone of it's own.So it is dependent on mother for this.You must definitely take this medicine as this will be beneficial for both you and your child.
There are chances for a baby to be born with low IQ if this hypothyroidism is not treated.
You should take this THYRONORM in early morning empty stomach and avoid taking anything like tea for another one hour.
Thanks
