Abstract: Thyroid disorders are the second most common endocrine disorders in pregnancy. Overt hypothyroidism occurs in 0.3-0.5% of pregnancies, subclinical hypothyroidism in 2-3%, and hyperthyroidism in 0.1-0.4%. Both overt and subclinical thyroid dysfunction during pregnancy are linked to higher risks of various complications for both mother and baby, including abortions, anemia, preeclampsia, growth issues, preterm birth, and even serious conditions like heart failure in mothers. Offspring may face reduced intellectual function and congenital anomalies, especially with iodine deficiency-related hypothyroidism.
