I am excited to have this pregnancy especially going through an ectopic pregnancy last year with the loss of one tube. I was also detected HypoThyroid after the surgery. When I tested for Thyroid my antibody level was very high. Although, hypothyroid is mostly hereditary. The main cause of my thyroid according to my instincts was mental stress. The pituitary gland sends signals the thyroid gland to release thyroid hormone. My brain from 2004 was so stressed that the pituitary gland just stopped telling the thyroid gland to function. My body created soldiers (antibodies) to fight the function of the thyroid gland. I feel that my pregnancy failed because of my hypothyroid condition and because of the stress I had in my life.
It has been a year since I started taking my thyroid medication and it has taken a year for me to have normal results. I personally feel that my living style changed in the last year and I had left my stress behind. This baby means the world to me. I am sharing my experiences and details of my medical condition - one to help everyone know that your baby deserves a healthy life and stress will never make that happen and second always follow your instincts.
Right now, I just feel like eating and sleeping early. I also wake up fresh and on time. I can also smell everything very distinctly. I have no other symptoms as of now and I am hoping they don't arrive. It is said that people with Hypothyroidism feel better than before when they are pregnant.
A good book to read is Mary Shomon's, "Living Well with Hypothyroidism".
