Morning sickness & levothyroxine

Leah

I’m about 6 weeks pregnant and have been experiencing terrible all day nausea. To help alleviate it, I’m trying to snack frequently. Many suggest having a couple bites of something in the middle of the night and even eating something small before getting out of bed.

For those of you who also have a low thyroid, has snacking in the morning affected the absorption rate of your levothyroxine? My doctor has always instructed me to take it first thing in the AM and wait 1 hour before eating. I’m so nauseated in the AM I need to eat right away but don’t want to lower the effect of my meds!
