Accepted Answer

Your : Your thyroid levels should be rechecked in the next few weeks since you may need an increase in dosage of thyroid hormone. Caffeine is safe in moderation in pregnancy. No more than about 300 milligrams a day is advised but there is no proof of it being harmful at higher dose. So if you play it safe,  this means no more than about 2 cups of coffee daily. Lifting should not be a problem unless your OB doc advises otherwise. Eat a balanced diet and stay away from alcohol, tobacco products and other medication unless approved by your doctor. You should also be on a prenatal vitamin to get enough Folic Acid and iron. Congratulations!
