The researchers determined that euthyroid pregnant women with positive thyroid antibodies developed impaired thyroid function and had an increased rate of miscarriage and premature delivery.
“It is a very important idea that women with even the mildest degree of thyroid disease should probably be treated. This gets into the whole issue of whether women who are pregnant, or those who wish to be, should be screened for thyroid disease. This paper by Negro et al is so powerful that many physicians are screening women,” Cooper said.

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost that precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted that there will be no more babies in our house.
