Pregnancy and Graves’ Disease (Save My Thyroid Audit)

“When I found out I was pregnant, I thought this child was doomed to the same condition and horrible experiences that I had. But I realize it's not always the case.” - Katy

Graves' disease can be a particularly challenging condition to manage during pregnancy. The hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy can exacerbate symptoms of Graves' disease, such as anxiety, fatigue, and palpitations, and a delicate balance is required to maintain both maternal and fetal health.

In today’s Save My Thyroid audit, I’m talking to Katy, who was diagnosed with Graves' disease just two days before discovering she was pregnant. In this episode, Katy and I discuss her diagnosis, initial fears about taking medication, the importance of consistent monitoring, the health of her baby, the significance of gut health, reducing toxic exposure, maintaining a balanced diet, and more.

While this isn’t the same as my comprehensive consultations with patients, I’m confident you’ll find this conversation valuable. If you would like to apply for an audit with me, you can do so by visiting https://SaveMyThyroid.com/audit. Enjoy the episode!
