Dear member,
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
If your thyroid levels are found to be low then thyroid tablets during pregnancy is required.
If not then there is risk to baby.
So please don't miss the medication and repeat the TSH, T4,T3 after 4 weeks to check the levels.
Most women who have thyroid problem detected during pregnancy revert back to normal after delivery.
Please upload report if necessary.
Thanks
