hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune destruction of the thyroid gland. patients will go through a hyperthyroid period euthyroid period and then eventually a hypothyriod period. many patients with this process will have antibodies that will place the patient at a higher risk of postpartum depression. if you are hypothyroid then you need to make sure you are taking enough replacement to make your levels normal. in this way you baby will not be at risk. otherwise your pregnancy should go fairly smoothly.
am i a high-risk pregnancy because i have hashimoto's disease?
