You cannot have a healthy pregnancy if you suffer from hypothyroidism; therefore, it is essential to be adequately treated. Uncontrolled hypothyroidism of the mother has a long-term effect on children. The body needs more thyroid hormones during pregnancy, and without proper treatment, hypothyroidism during pregnancy can cause severe problems like:
- Miscarriage.
- Preeclampsia.
- Placental problems, including placental abruption.
- Premature birth.
- Having a low-birth-weight baby.
