Accepted Answer

if you regularly take the medications during pregnancy and have regular check up every 2 months there will be no harm to the baby due to thyroid
 as thyroid during pregnancy occurs but it is not being transferred to the baby unless you have hereditary history

Hello dear parent, your doctor knows better about the situation so it is better to follow your doctor’s instruction. If you do not trust her then change the doctor. Otherwise you will only affect the health of your baby other way round. Good luck and take care
