Hi, I have just been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and, in some ways bad timing, I was 2 weeks pregnant at the time of untreated diagnosis. I was overtly hypo for the first 2 weeks of pregnancy, then after starting meds, am down to subclinical hypo. My Endocrinologist & fertility specialist both seem to think that because I have had this treated so early in my pregnancy and if we can get the TSh stabilised ...and within normal range before foetal brain development starts at approx 4 weeks, that I wouldn't need to worry about the usual risk of untreated hypo in pregnancy on the baby after birth, in terms of lower IQ and problems with gross motor skills etc. Of course I have been reading everything and anything possible about the risks to a baby later in life if hypo is treated so early in pregnancy, but nearly all of the literature and forums out there only deal with untreated hypo during pregnancy and the risks that come from non treatment. Does anyone have any experience, or know of anyone, or have any relevant and factual feedback regarding risks and outcomes for babies later in life with their IQ etc, when their mother had her hypo treated so early in her pregnancy? Anything would be greatly appreciated
