Is it normal to have a child with hyperthyroidism during pregnancy?

Patient's question:

My little aunt was carefully checked and found out that she was pregnant recently. However, she has been suffering from hyperthyroidism for a long time. She is quite worried about her baby, so she wants to understand whether it is normal to be pregnant with hyperthyroidism.

Doctor's answer:

According to professional medical knowledge, it can be understood that patients with hyperthyroidism are not suitable for pregnancy in the near future. This is because any medication can cause certain harm to the human body, let alone the fetus. At this stage, the baby is still very small and has a particularly weak resistance. From a long-term perspective, it is better to wait until the patient recovers before considering pregnancy. This will provide a certain guarantee for the health of the fetus.
