Pregnancy with hyperthyroid / grave’s disease

Question

Hi mummies.. i am 5 weeks carrying my second baby now. I have a long history of hyperthyroid and would like to see a gynae who has experience handling such pregnancies.First baby was born overseas, so I don’t have much knowledge about the gynecologists here… Would you please help recommend me some gynae for me to consider? Thank you so much.. #hyperthyroid #pregnancy

one of my friends had hyperthyroidism during pregnancy and was followed by both her gynae and an endocrinologist… from what I understand, the coordination between the gynae and endocrinologist is quite important, so I would look for a doctor who is comfortable managing higher-risk pregnancies and working closely with an endocrine team. If you’re considering public hospitals, maybe also look into NUH, KKH or SGH as they have multidisciplinary teams. Hopefully some mums with personal experience can recommend specific doctors. ❤️ Congratulations on your pregnancy and wishing you a smooth journey ahead
