Thyroid during Pregnancy

HORMONE CHANGES. A normal pregnancy results in a number of important physiological and hormonal changes that alter thyroid function. These changes mean that laboratory tests of thyroid function must be interpreted with caution during pregnancy. Thyroid function tests change during pregnancy due to the influence of two main hormones: human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), the hormone that is measured in the pregnancy test and estrogen, the main female hormone. HCG can weakly turn on the thyroid and the high circulating hCG levels in the first trimester may result in a slightly low TSH (called subclinical hyperthyroidism). When this occurs, the TSH will be slightly decreased in the first trimester and then return to normal throughout the duration of pregnancy . Estrogen increases the amount of thyroid hormone binding proteins in the serum which increases the total thyroid hormone levels in the blood since >99% of the thyroid hormones in the blood are bound to these proteins. However, measurements of “Free” hormone (that not bound to protein, representing the active form of the hormone) usually remain normal. The thyroid is functioning normally if the TSH, Free T4 and Free T3 are all normal throughout pregnancy.
SIZE CHANGES. The thyroid gland can increase in size during pregnancy (enlarged thyroid = goiter). However, pregnancy-associated goiters occur much more frequently in iodine-deficient areas of the world. It is relatively uncommon in the United States, which is thought to be relatively iodine-sufficient. If very sensitive imaging techniques (ultrasound) are used, it is possible to detect an increase in thyroid volume in some women. This is usually only a 10-15% increase in size and is not typically apparent on physical examination by the physician. However, sometimes a significant goiter may develop and prompt the doctor to measure tests of thyroid function.
I advice every woman not to eat spicy, oily foods in Pregnancy.
You should take care of your food which may cause damage to your Thyroid Gland. So Avoid such food and follow Healthy food to protect your self and give birth to Healthy child.

My advise
1...   Babies born to women with thyroid disease are at increased risk of heart, brain, and kidney defects, says lead author David Nagey, MD, PhD, in a news release. Nagey is associate professor of gynecology and obstetrics at Johns Hopkins Medical School. The infants are also at risk for physical abnormalities like cleft lip or palate or extra fingers, he reports.  The risk for heart defects was seen in women with an underactive thyroid but not in women with an overactive thyroid. And this was true even if the women were taking medication to bring their thyroid levels back to normal.

2... "We already knew that there was an increased risk of problems, mostly intellectual or developmental ... but the link with birth defects is new and unexpected," Nagey says.

3...  If the study results are confirmed, it could lead to routine testing of women for thyroid disease prior to pregnancy. If the test indicates a woman has an underactive thyroid, a fetal      ultrasound of the heart -- called an "echocardiogram" -- during the 20th week of pregnancy might be necessary, he says.

4...  Nagey's study involved 64 women with underactive thyroid (known as hypothyroidism) and 50 with overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) who gave birth at Johns Hopkins between December 1994 and June 1999. Their average age was 31; very few admitted to smoking, drinking alcohol, or using illegal drugs during their pregnancy, he reports.   Overall, there were 108 pregnancies with 114 fetuses.  Twenty-one babies (18%) had birth defects, including problems in the heart, kidneys, and central nervous systems. They also had disorders like sunken chest, extra fingers, cleft lip and palate, and ear deformities. Two died before birth.

5...  Hypothyoidism caused more birth defects than did hyperthyroidism. It's possible that the same antibodies that cause the underactive thyroid also could be responsible for the birth defects, Nagey says.

6...      I advise every woman not to conceive till thyroid is controlled as it may cause of defective births.

Your unhealthy food is the main cause of thyroid
7....     Follow Healthy food and give birth to Healthy child
