Thyroid disease and pregnancy.
Thyroid disease is the most common pre-existing endocrine complaint occurring in pregnancy, reflecting in part its predilection for women of childbearing age. It is the fifth most frequent disorder in our general obstetric medicine clinic. When optimal management is achieved, a good outcome is likely for both the mother and child.
