Abstract
Women with hypothyroidism have been thought not to require an increase in thyroxine replacement during pregnancy. To evaluate the effects of pregnancy on thyroxine requirements, we retrospectively reviewed the thyroid function of 12 women receiving treatment for primary hypothyroidism before, during, and after pregnancy.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
