Does Hypothyroidism During Pregnancy Affect The Baby?
I am 6 weeks pregnant. I have had hypothyroidism (treated w/synthroid) for 15 years. Numbers seemed fine pre-pregnancy. I had them checked again on 19 days past ovulation. My tsh was 4.7 and my 3t4 was 1.51. I am concerned about these numbers affecting the baby/babies. (My hcg on day 26 was 19,143.) What is your advice
