Successful Pregnancy with Thyroid Supplements
Jane was diagnosed of hypothyroidism. She was pregnant. Her physician told her that her condition would not be good for her baby. She might have abortion or if the pregnancy progressed, the baby might not survive. To prevent the repercussions of the thyroxin deficiency, Jane needed thyroid supplements. Since Jane and her husband wanted the baby very much, Jane took the supplements religiously. She also had regular prenatal check-ups and fetal surveillance tests. Eventually, she was able to carry her pregnancy to term. Neonatal tests done for hypothyroidism were done, but it proved negative. Jane and her husband are very thankful to the medications she took.
