I got a call today from the OB that my thyroid is off and I'm being referred to an endocrinologist... I'm nervous. Thoughts? Anecdotes? Hair pats?
I have hair pats. I believe it's semi-common for your thyroid to be thrown off in pregnancy, but definitely see the endo to confirm. We found out with DS (he has hypothyroidism and sees a pedi endo) that many labs have certain criteria that they treat all patients under which isn't necessarily accurate when you look at children or pregnant women. I think the key is to catch and treat it early to limit any potential risks. I know plenty of women who were on meds for thyroid issues and their children are perfectly fine. Your babies may need to be checked a few times through the first year or two, just to warn you.
Hypothyroidism is pretty easy to treat, just a pill in the morning when you wake. Both my H and DS are on it. I'm not as familiar with the treatments for hyperthyroidism except for iodine therapy (which wouldn't be your treatment IF it is hyper)

My Hashimoto's was caught just a few months before my last pregnancy and I saw an endo the entire 9 months. If you are hypothyroid (higher TSH), taking a small dose of levothyroxine during your pregnancy can help you feel more energetic throughout. My endo says the risks of mild hypothyroid to baby are pretty low, but since pregnancy can mess with your hormones, they like to monitor it closely and keep it well-controlled.
Noticed that my ob instruction sheet says "no soft or unpasteurized cheese." This made me think, does anyone avoid cream cheese for this reason? Isn't it the softest of the cheeses? Is there some difference between goat cheese and cream cheese that I'm missing? Is it exonerated for its breakfast food status? And how hard is hard (lol)? Would I need a durometer if I intended to follow this advice? Just pondering this while I eat all the (pasteurized) cheese.

Off how? I'm hypothyroid. I take a little synthroid pill every day. They like to keep a closer eye on it during early pregnancy but really it's nbd.
I think she said I was low. My husband is hypo, so I'm familiar with synthroid. I was just wondering if anyone had experience with it going away after pregnancy. I know there are worse things, but given my fainting history with blood draws, bloodwork every three months blows.

No thyroid experience here but good luck! Maybe you can strategically schedule to combine with other blood draws (like gtt, sequential screen if you're doing that) to minimize the total number? And ask if you can lie down for the blood draws, always. It helps keep blood going to your brain.

For fainting during blood draws- 2things have helped me. Try to go to a place that you can lie down or even just elevate your feet. Also hold an ice pack on the back of your neck while they do the draw. A nurse told me it helps with the adrenaline rush that causes the light headed feeling.

My understanding is that all pasteurized cheeses are fine, even brie or bleu cheese so long as it's pasteurized. Cream cheese should always be pasteurized so it should be fine.

Right, but the internet is rife with pregnant ladies lamenting the absence of goat cheese from their lives and I can't remember ever hearing anyone complain about not eating cream cheese. And you have to go out of your way to find any cheese in the US that isn't pasteurized, so...
Also it's 85 inside my house. Nowhere near as bad as this time last year, but I'm not used to it because the weather has been so nice. Baby napped in just a diaper and will still be a sweaty mess when she wakes up I'm sure.
What a night- I either twisted or broke my ankle trying to take DS on a walk. He screams at me because he can't go inside but I barely made it back inside as it is.. I ripped my only good pair of dark jeans for work. I'm a sobbing mess and can barely walk. I don't know how I'm going to manage solo parenting the next two days

Ouch, many good thoughts coming your way. Lots of ice and elevation when you can
I'm starting to have that feeling about gender and its coming up boys. I'm so worried that when we do find out, it'll be a hard pill to swallow. Yes I want healthy babies no matter what but I had to bury my first born, my daughter, and I've always dreamt of getting that chance to raise a little girl. Just a little scared that I won't ever get the opportunity.

I forgot my bitch for the day. I pulled the crap out of my ab muscle two nights ago trying to lift DD into her crib. Idk what I'm going to do as I get bigger. I'm already having what I'm assuming is the worst RLP ever. Like if I twist or sit wrong I feel like someone is stabbing me.
My ear has been clogged for 3 weeks waiting for an ENT appointment. Today, I can hear again!!
What did the ENT do?
Suctioned all of the disgusting wax out of my ears. I tried the peroxide drops in the one that was really bad and apparently that made the problem even worse.

Just had my first real fuck I'm gonna pass out moment. Broke out in cold sweats. Everything started going black. Had to lay down in my kitchen floor and put my feet up on the cabinets. Fuckkkkk
Thanks, ladies. I can't walk on it today so off to the doctor I go... It looks very unpleasant and I can't bend it either but at least I can wiggle my toes?
