    Hi i have hashimotos aswell. Am currently awaiting for my caesar date to arrive (2 more weeks) my endocrinologist said to me.. that basically in (i think) the first 12 weeks your levels need to be kept an eye on and that is usually the stage when med levels are adjusted....my med levels were not adjusted at all and i have stayed on the same dosgae throughout my pregnancy. Hope this helps.

    Thank you for everyone's reply - sorry if i had you also stressed out. I saw my endocrinologist today ( 2 weeks was a long wait) and said that she thinks the obstetrician got confused with Graves disease - apparently there is a problem with antibody transfer to the baby over the placenta. But with Hashimoto's as long as your levels are within the normal range things will be fine. So i'm more relaxed now. I'm 19 weeks today and my TSH is 0.4 im feeling great and she is happy with everything

    All the best with your pregnancy and birth just around the corner.
