The thyroid is often blamed for exhaustion. I’ve heard many women say something like, “I must have a thyroid problem, I’m just so tired all the time!” That small, butterfly-shaped organ just below your voice box had a lot of power. It can make you exhausted and gain weight if it underperforming or it can send you into overtime with a rapid pulse rate and extreme weight loss if it is overperforming.
So, what has this to do with pregnancy?
