I was having thyroid before marriage, and I had not taken any medicine for the same. I was having hypothyroid, was getting thin and not gaining weight. Now m 8 months pregnant and my doctor did not checked thyroid during my whole pregnancy. But I hav gained 10 kgs of weight during pregnancy till now. Just want to ask will this affect my baby? I have read some articles that it affects baby IQ level. Is this correct?

According to experts now it is compulsory to screen every woman who wants to become pregnant for thyroid function. Because pregnancy increases the possibility of getting hypothyroidism. If a lady is having hyothyroidism then conception is unlikely to occur. If it does occur then the fetal development is affected, out come of pregnancy can be bad. The new born may have low iq.
