why isn't this murder?


There can be some potential risks ~ you didn't mention if your friend is hyperthyroid or hypothyroid. I myself hold hypothyroidism (underactive) and am currently 7 months pregnant. Continued use of prescribed meds should be taken and closely monitored by her endocrinologist & obstetrician as level may rise and fall while pregnant. The toddler does not hold it's own thyroid function until the 2nd trimester. Also, next to the thyroid medication, she should whip it AT LEAST several hours earlier or after taking her prenatal vitamin.

Question almost my scoliosis?

I'm not a doctor, so I don't want to update you things that I'm not sure of, but I can make clear to you that I am trying to acquire pregnant and give somebody a lift Synthroid (the drug you bring to oblige w/ hypothyroidism). My doctor's told me it be undamaging to filch during pregnancy.
Best wishes!
