Hi, guys. A little background on me- I originally wanted 3 children but then, after being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s after the birth of my second child 2 years ago, I told myself I was done. My main worry is that I fear pregnancy will cause another underlying autoimmune disease to surface when my hormones are out of whack and I am immunocompromised due to pregnancy, just as happened before. I have had a rough time with my Hashimoto’s over the last 2 years with a variety of symptoms and I already live in fear that I have some additional undiagnosed autoimmune condition. Additionally, I have high anxiety (mostly health related) and I just worry about going through a pregnancy with an existing autoimmune disease and a pandemic.
I anticipate I will need thyroid levels checked every 4-6 weeks, but was just wondering if anyone else had any insights as to what I might expect during this pregnancy. Positive experiences are certainly welcomed!
Thanks so much.

Thank you for the sites! I take 125 mcg/day and have thyroid labs scheduled. I need to (and will) request the vitamin testing. I also take B12 and vitamin D.
