Will baby be okay?

Question

Forgot to take my thyroid meds this morning for the first time and i am 30 weeks 6 days pregnant will baby be okay??

Answer

If it's levothyroxine for hypothyroidism my Dr said it is VERY RESILIENT. Meaning if you miss one day, take two the next day and you will be caught up. He said that the medication takes weeks to affect your thyroid, which is why when you first start your medication you don't feel an immediate resolve of symptoms. The medication just helps your body to process correctly so a pretty constant supply of levothyroxine should be all you need to thrive-- not like birth control.. I've had hypothyroidism since I was a teen and have asked many many questions and learned a lot regarding the thyroid.
Baby will be just fine!!!

Answer

I’ve missed mine before. You should be OK but you can call your OB or email them just to be safe

Answer

I missed 2 on a row when I couldnt get to my pharmacy to refill a few weeks ago. So far nothing seems to be wrong. I think you’ll be fine as long as you don’t miss a bunch in a row and make your levels go crazy!
