Thyroid is crucial: Proper levels of thyroid hormones are critical to the development of a healthy baby, particularly growth and brain development. A pregnant woman should work closely with her doctor, take her medications as prescribed, and be tested regularly to ensure her thyroid hormones stay at the right levels throughout the pregnancy.
