The answer is yes and no. If you are aware that you have Hashimotos Disease, and you are being treated for the condition, there is no reason why, without proper medical guidance, you can conceive a healthy normal baby. Some women with the Disease can find it difficult to conceive a child, and may suffer several miscarriages, while others can conceive quite quickly, and with minimum difficulty. Women who have difficulty conceiving, may not even be aware that they have a thyroid condition, or there medication may not have been adjusted to compensate for the pregnancy. It is extremely important, to have your levels tested during each trimester, as the medication may need to be adjusted, to ensure you and your babies health. If levels and medication are not monitored, in early pregnancy it can cause miscarriage, and in later stages, still birth and/or premature labour. It can also cause children to be developmentally slower than children of the same age.
