Thyroid disease is the second most common endocrine disorder after diabetes in pregnancy. Thyroid disease poses a substantial challenge on the physiology of pregnant women and has significant maternal and fetal implications. During pregnancy, thyroid hormone production increases by around 50% along with a similar increase in total daily iodine requirements. Thyroid dysfunction in pregnant women including hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism requires close monitoring and treatment as warranted. This activity reviews thyroid disease in pregnancy and its management. This activity will review the most common causes of thyroid disease in pregnancy and outline the treatment approach according to current evidence. This activity will highlight the role of the interprofessional team in recognizing and treating thyroid disease in pregnancy.
