Over active thyroid & Pregnancy

Sent to Health Experts August 30, 2005 9:32 p.m.

The last time I was pregnant I had an overactive thyriod and lost my baby. Will I be likely to have one this pregnancy? Are there any vitamins, diets, or natural ways to help an overactive thyroid?

I would be sure to let the doctor know if they don't already, what happened last pregancy. They will watch you extra close and treat you as needed.

Here are some articles that will help you understand, and hopefully helps calm your worries.
