Hi. I posted this question a few days ago and haven't gotten any replies. The mom is 3 months pregnant and hyperthyroid. In the past she has been hypothyroid, but that resolved. Lawrence says treatment during pregnancy can result in fetal goiter and possibly hypthyroidism. The mother would like to avoid this. Are there any alternative or natural treatments. What is the danger of not treating? The doctor is worried she may have Grave's disease, but she is not convinced. She is very knowledgeable and wants to have all the possible information before making her decision. She has had her babies at home before and does not want to be treated like a high-risk patient. What are her options? Marilee Woodworth, IBCLC, LLLL, Ann Arbor, Michigan
