Hi,
I understand your concern.
Thyroid hormone has a vital role in fetal development. It affects physical & intellectual well being of baby.
So, if you had thyroid problems in past, you should immediately consult an endocrinologist with your fresh thyroid function test reports & old reports.Start with thyroid supplements right away. Don't worry, The previous deficiency is taken care by proper medication .
So please don't wait for symptoms.consult the doctor soon.
Thanks.
