"If you're on thyroid medication, Dr. Duke stresses the importance of checking in with your thyroid throughout pregnancy. "The fetal brain [and] spinal cord start forming at around 21 days, and the pregnancy hormone can actually activate your thyroid,” she explains.
“So, sometimes medicine needs to be tweaked in the first trimester. I check it with the first pregnancy test, and then once per trimester, and at delivery."

Check out this blog from @modernfertility as I answer the most common questions about thyroid problems.

Way too many people out there are weaponizing the word “natural”!

1/8
Whether it be “natural conception”, “natural birth”, “natural medicine” “natural beauty” or now, “natural immunity”, a certain segment of the population has coopted the meaning of “natural” & this is really fueling misinformation & exploitation of many vulnerable people …
2/8
Especially in BIPOC communities.

People are literally becoming severely injured or dying in pursuit of “natural” to the detriment of their high risk pregnancies, severe hypertension, out of control diabetes, kidney disease & now, their immune health.
