Answer

Thats something you need to ask your OB.

Answer

Yes I’ve been on it my entire pregnancy

Answer

Absolutely. I've been on it for like 5 years and I'm 35 weeks with my second pregnancy and taking it. It's important for your thyroid levels to be where they should

Answer

Yes please make sure you take it!! I had two miscarriages last year then was diagnosed with hypothyroidism a few months after which the doc said was most likely what caused my miscarriages. They upped my dose in pregnancy and I see a thyroid specialist every 4-6 weeks and even they said that it’s extremely important to take it as your baby uses your thyroid for the first few months (which is why they aim to up doses by 25%). My docs said they believe it’s the levothyroxine that helped me get pregnant and have a healthy pregnancy. I’m now 25 weeks. I’m still taking 125mcg every morning and I never forget. Please make sure you take it if you need it
