Can pregnant women with hypothyroidism eat kelp?

Patient's question:

I have hypothyroidism and usually need to take medication. I am four months pregnant now. Can I eat kelp during pregnancy with hypothyroidism?

Doctor's answer:

Hypothyroidism, also known as hypothyroidism, requires long-term oral replacement of insufficient thyroid hormone. Especially during pregnancy, the dosage should be increased. It is recommended to review thyroid function every 2 to 4 weeks during pregnancy. Restoring thyroid function to normal is beneficial for both the pregnant woman and the fetus. Pregnant women with hypothyroidism can appropriately consume seaweed, nori, etc. to ensure the needs of the fetus.
