Hypothyroidism & Prematurity

[Guest guest]

My husband was channel surfing a few weeks ago and said he heard on

the news that the CDC issued a warning about Hypothyroid Meds and low

birthweight babies/prematurity. Has anyone heard anything about

this? This is of particular interest to us because we had a

premature baby due to IUGR, which the Dr's cannot explain the cause.

My husband insists he heard the news correctly, but I have been

unable to locate any information.

Thanks!

If a woman does not have enough thyroid med and is chronically hypothyroid,

then, she is more endangered of having a premature birth, and a very

difficult pregnancy. LACK of thyroid hormone during the pregnancy may very

well be what he heard.

Thanks Jan,

My medication was actually decreased from .50 mcg Synthroid to .25

when I was about 3 months pg. My TSH was something like .50 to begin

with and apparently I had apparently my TSH had dropped into

Hyperthyroid levels around the 2nd month.

Maybe my daughter's problems are not related to my thyroid, but I am

still highly suspicious.
