Overt untreated hypothyroidism during pregnancy may adversely affect maternal and fetal outcomes. These adverse outcomes include increased incidences of spontaneous miscarriage, preterm delivery, preeclampsia, maternal hypertension, postpartum hemorrhage, low birth weight and stillbirth, and impaired intellectual and psychomotor development of the fetus.

Women with positive TPOAb may have an increased risk for first trimester miscarriage, preterm delivery, and for offspring with impaired cognitive development.

It is important to have normal thyroid function prior to conceiving.

Requirements of thyroid hormone increase during pregnancy.

When a woman with hypothyroidism becomes pregnant, the dosage of L-thyroxine should be increased as soon as possible.

"Treatment with L-thyroxine should be considered in women of childbearing age with normal serum TSH levels when they are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, including assisted reproduction in the immediate future, if they have or have had positive levels of serum TPOAb, particularly when there is a history of miscarriage or past history of hypothyroidism."

"Women of childbearing age who are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, including assisted reproduction in the immediate future, should be treated with L-thyroxine if they have or have had positive levels of serum TPOAb and their TSH is greater than 2.5 mIU/L."
