Just been informed by my GP I have under active thyroid. Could be hereditary, but I’m also wondering could it be due to postpartum (almost 9 months).
Anybody experienced this? Anybody found their levels went back to normal? I really don’t want to be on medication for the rest of my life.

Most likely postpartum. Mine jumped from being overactive to underactive and has recently leveled out close to normal. Currently 10 months PP. It does run in my family but I think my case was postpartum

I got diagnosed with it well before I fell pregnant with my eldest who is 9 xx

I was diagnosed about 5 months postpartum too
I was told that you could only have a scan every 2 weeks but I’ve got 3 in one week

I’m 20 weeks pregnant today with my second baby, i haven’t really felt much movement in this pregnancy which is abit strange, i’ve felt the odd kick or flutter but that’s all is it normal to feel like this it. I do have a scan tomorrow to check everything is okay. last pregnancy i had scans but i’ve only had about 3 in this pregnancy as i went away for 2 week so my next one is tomorrow. just want to be reassured that everything is okay because i stress myself out all the time 😩 xx

Anyone else been diagnosed? I had my glucose test and got the dreaded phone call today to say it came back abnormal. I wasn’t expecting it at all😑
