Abstract

Maternal thyroid hormones are critical for the growth and development of a healthy fetus. During pregnancy, maternal thyroid hormone production is increased to meet the demands of fetal growth. The purpose of this review is to provide clinicians with current evidence about possible adverse maternal and fetal effects of hypothyroidism in pregnancy, including the role of hypothyroidism in recurrent pregnancy loss. In addition, clinical presentation, evidence-based screening guidelines, and evidence-based treatments are discussed.
