Important to get vitamin D, folate, B12 and ferritin levels tested
Good vitamin levels are essential for good thyroid function and also for a baby's development too

I think they switch you to PTU in early pregnancy, first trimester, raise it with your Endo.

What do u mean this?
I am agreeing with coconutty
Also, it's worth pushing your endo to keep a close eye on your levels. Since you required such a low dose and were only mildly hyper. Many women experience a reduction in autoimmunity when they are pregnant and so you may not need any medication at all in a little while but you'll probably need to go back on it postpartum
