It depends on your actual condition.
Are you overactive or underactive? Also have you been diagnosed with a specific thyroid disorder i.e: Graves' Disease or Hashimotos.
Overactive means you make too much iron, whereas underactive you make too little.
Depending on which one of these it is, you will need to take medication for that specific condition.
With regards to pregnancy you will need to have regular blood tests throughout your pregnancy (probably every 4 to 6 weeks) so that they can monitor your thyroid function and they can adjust your medication accordingly.
I have Graves' Disease and my daughter was born 2 years ago completely normal. I am in the first trimester of my second pregnancy and everything is fine.
Speak to your Endo or OBE with regards to your condition and what would be the best course of action while pregnant.
I am on email through yahoo, so if you need any further imformation please feel free to email me.
Hope this helps.

I'm not sure of your question. Do you mean does kelp help the thyroid? In some cases it can if one is iodine deficient. Uually though if one is hypothyroid they take a thyroid medication such as Synthroid, Levoxyl, Unithroid, Armour, Cytomel, or Thyrolar.
To diagnose a thyroid problem you take a morning blood test. Usually th doctors only do a TSH, but a Free T4 and Free T3 can catch a thyroid problem before the TSH does. Below is a thyroid website for you to look over. I'm not sure I answered what you wanted t know, but perhaps you'll find it here,

i'm not sure what you're asking... but levothyroxine, synthroid... are hormone replacements for a thyroid disorder...
