Yes you can: The thyroid function needs to be followed during pregnancy, but you can have a normal pregnancy. It may not effect the baby in any way but your gynecologist can follow and if any issues arise you can see high risk OB if necessary.

I agree with Dr. Goldman. many women who couldn't get pregnant before their hypothyroidism was treated now have healthy happy babies.
