What happens if you don't take thyroid meds when pregnant?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Significant probelms: Depending on whether you are taking medications for overactive thryoid or underactive thyroid, not taking the medication can have significant effects. I would definitely take the medication as your doctor has prescribed it.... Not doing so could have serious consequences.

Complications!: Non-compliance with thyroid medications in pregnancy can have detrimental effects such as miscarriage, preterm birth, preeclampsia, poor fetal growth, arrhythmias, neurodevelopmental delay, goiter, polyhydramnios, malpresentation, cesarean section, stillbirth and cerebral palsy. Seek endocrinology and maternal-fetal medicine care and optimize your thyroid function before getting pregnant.
