A member asked:

My wife is having a 6.4 level of hypothyroidism during her 1st trimester of pregnancy. is it a matter of risk or can be controlled?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Can be controlled: She must consult with her ob/gyn and an endocrinologist (thyroid specialist). It is essential for the good health of the baby ; your wife to make frequent appointments and keep them.
