Re: Help - low birth weight baby/hyperthyroid

[Guest guest]

Ann Marie,

Are you saying the baby has been delivered or your friend is still

pregnant?

Is 4.68 lbs really small for a 35 weeker? She has 5 more weeks to get up

to an average birth weight.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with thyroid problems during pregnancy.

What symptoms is she having? She needs the free's not TSH. She also needs

antibody testing.

Steph, I forwarded your email to her and asked to her to email you

directly. I hope that is OK.

I have also given her a couple of doctor's contact info (Dr. Flechas

and Dr. Rind).
