Hello! A big thankyou for all the support during this fairly stressful pregnancy.

Abigail arrived safely on saturday night weighing a very healthy 8lbs 8 oz. She is feeding great. She will have her TFTs done at 10 days old to rule out congenital hypothyroidism, hopefully all will be well.

Im feeling great, dr just told me to immediately drop down to pre pregnancy thyroxine dose, but i think i will wait till i have blood tests. If anyone has any advice about this it would be appreciated, but im not too worried. Just so grateful i have a beautiful, healthy baby to enjoy!

Thankyou again, ive recieved great advice and support on here throughout the pregnancy.
