Hyperthyroidismin and pregnancy

Victoria

Hi. I'm almost 18 weeks pregnant and a few weeks back my midwife told me I made have hyperthyroidismin due to pregnancy. Now as I wait for my appointment with a new doctor to check it out I've noticed I've been gaining a ridiculous amount of weight. This is not your normal pregnancy weight gain. Before I got pregnant I lost a total of 115lbs so I am scared and feeling down about this gain.

My question is the weight gain a result of the hyperthyroidismin and is there anything I can do about it? (I've been watching what I eat and going to the gym 3-4 times a week)

Thanks for reading.
