About this video
Thyroid results change during pregnancy. A low TSH result alone does not establish overactive thyroid: symptoms, pregnancy-specific hormone results and the underlying cause need assessment together.
Some mild cases need monitoring rather than medicine. Treatment and follow-up should be individualized by your maternity and endocrine team. Do not start, stop or change thyroid medicine based on this recording.
This video provides general information and does not replace an individual medical assessment.
