High Risk Pregnancies / Hypothyroidism / Hyperthyroidism Thyroid disorders are usually detected during preconception counselling or in women who have just conceived and have done tests for thyroid function. Maternal hypothyroidism is an easily treatable condition that has been associated with an increased risk of low birth weight, fetal distress, and impaired neuropsychological development. Hyperthyroidism in pregnancy is less common. The reason is that it’s difficult to conceive with this medical condition because it affects menstruation cycles. However, if an expectant mother has maternal hyperthyroidism then it can lead to high blood pressure. Treatment of hyperthyroidism is necessary to prevent miscarriage, premature birth or delivering a baby with low body weight.
