Of course she should start folic acid, which is essential for brain development of the baby. Fish oil should be avoided because it contains vitamin a, which can damage the baby's brain. Thyronorm is absolutely safe in pregnancy. Rather if she does not take thyronorm, baby's intelligence may be hammered.
