It\u2019s essential to optimize your thyroid levels. 2\ufe0f\u20e3 Pregnancy Adjustment: Once you conceive, inform your clinician immediately. Thyroid hormone dosages often need adjustments during the first, second, and third trimesters to support your baby&#8217;s brain development. 3\ufe0f\u20e3 Brain Development: The first 12-16 weeks of your baby&#8217;s brain growth depends on maternal thyroid hormone levels.
