What is it like to have untreated hypothyroidism during pregnancy?

No one does that: Hi. I treat a lot of hypothyroidism in pregnancy. NO ONE would leave hypothyroidism untreated in pregnancy. When women are diagnosed with hypothyroidism during pregnancy, we TREAT THEM! Don't run an experiment! Get treated!
