Hypothyroidism

I had a blood test earlier in the week and have just had a call from GP saying my bloods showed I have hypothyroidism and now I'm freaking out. GP wasnt very knowledgeable about it and is going to do some research and call me back next week. I've just googled it and if you have it during pregnancy it can affect the baby's brain deleveopment and now I'm freaking out 😭 Is anyone else in a similar situation ?!

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism before the baby! It’s honestly nothing to worry about as long as you’re being monitored! My pregnancy’s been good so far - the baby’s doing well too! I have had a change in doses three times throughout, and my OB is being very careful about dosage very well! Don’t worry about it xxx

I'm mostly worried because it's only been found now and if I had it in early pregnancy it might have affected babys brain development and there's no way of knowing if I had it or not before now 😭 I will try speak to midwife next week about it 😞

Toddler (29 months) Name Change 💕

Please be kind, I’m just looking for friendly advice or thoughts. I had a few names on my baby name list for my daughter that I almost used. I do like her name, but as she’s grown, she really fits another name on my list so beautifully with her appearance & personality. It’s close enough in sound that I don’t think her development would be interfered with. I’m not worried about how others in my life would react to the change, it’s all about trying to decide what is best for her 💕
My thought is to use her given name as another middle name so she’d have 2 middle names 🤍

Abit confused on what’s going on. Baby gone from 90th percentile to 60th in a few weeks and says baby growth is still a slight worry .

Anyone know why is that?

Driving after c section

How long did it take for people to be able to drive again? I’m really stressed about not being able to drive independently. I have family around but they do all work full time and can’t always rely on them. I also don’t live somewhere with good public transport
