What influence do the pregnancy values have on the development of my baby?

The thyroid hormones play a central role in controlling the physical and mental development of the baby. Since the baby is initially unable to produce the hormones itself, it is dependent on the production of the maternal thyroid gland. The hormones reach the baby via the blood and placenta.An underactive thyroid gland can therefore have fatal consequences for the development of the child and must be recognized and treated without fail, as otherwise even a miscarriage can be the result.

An overactive thyroid gland of the mother can also be very harmful for the growing baby. It is therefore very important that the thyroid gland values are within the normal range of the respective pregnancy period. If there is a suspicion that the mother has a thyroid dysfunction, the thyroid gland values in her blood should be determined.
