HI, Thanks for the query.I understand your concern. - Hypothyroidism in pregnancy needs to be corrected by taking suitable dose of thyroid medicines with an endocrinologist's advise.( low thyroid affects fetal physical & intellectual development, ) The thyroid function tests are to be repeated as per advise & dose of medication revised as per need with expert advise through out pregnancy. - about cervical spondylytis muscle strength of neck muscles & mobility of neck should be maintained with physiotherapy exercises under expert guidance/ avoid jerks while traveling.. use of seat bets is a must. During normal delivery.. thin pillow to be used when lying on bed/ propped up position is best to avoid strain to cervical spine, while bearing down, During LSCS.. type of anaesthetia decided after knowing normality of lumber spine/ a GA is used in case of accompanied lumber spondylosis A regular pregnancy check up & going as per doctor's advise is best policy.. as the strategy may change from time too time. Please remind doctor about your problem while deciding delivery mode.. so that proper care would be taken . Thanks.
