Can you have a baby with hypothyroidism?

Women with hypothyroidism can also have children. However, before having a baby, women with hypothyroidism must have a thyroid function test to observe the specific situation of hypothyroidism and the need for early intervention with medication. If you are pregnant without treatment, you should intervene with medication as soon as possible because thyroid function can seriously affect the growth and mental development of the fetus. Patients with hypothyroidism who are not actively examined and treated are at high risk of stillbirth, embryonic growth retardation or fetal mental abnormalities, which can seriously affect the health of the next generation. Therefore, if you have hypothyroidism, you must actively treat it after pregnancy and closely observe the changes in thyroid function during the treatment process and adjust the dosage in a timely manner. And in the case of pregnancy, make sure that the thyroid function is slightly hyperthyroid, but as long as it is not very hyperthyroid, it will not affect the development of the fetus, but must not be in a state of hypothyroidism.
