It is very important to stay on proper thyroid medication while pregnant (both for you and the baby). I am hypothyroid and the doctors have kept a close watch on it both pregnancies. One of the doctors will probably answer with a more scientific answer, but maintaining proper thyroid function during pregnancy is important.

Good luck!
