That is def. one thing you need to ask your doctor to make sure.
But, my mother had thyroid problems and took medication for it, and shes had 5 kids... so I'm pretty sure you can since it isn't a narcotic or anything, but you should really ask your doctor to be sure.

Most woman with thyroid disease do continue to take medication during their pregnancy. Reasearch shows that there are very few side effects to the baby and you while carrying. This is something that you should talk to your dr. about before conceiving or if you are already pregnant then you should make you an appointment right away to make sure that everything is okay. I hope that this helped you.

Congratulations….you're pregnant! Whether this is your first child or fifth, whether conception took you many years or a few months, pregnancy is a marvelous, awe-inspiring time in a woman's life. Your hypothyroidism -- an underactive thyroid -- doesn't change that, although it may make your pregnancy slightly more complicated than someone without a thyroid disorder. It's heartening to note, however, that most women with thyroid disease are able to have an uneventful pregnancy and healthy baby. I did myself, back in 1997!

Hi. I found out I'm pregnant, and my doctor had to put me on thyroxine, as I was border line. He said I needed it, so the baby does not miss out, and my body will be working very hard. I suggest you talk to your doctor as every case is different.
