I'm in my second trimester, and my thyroid was detected back in the first trimester. I've been taking medication, but now my thyroid level is 11.7, and I'm really worried about it. I had a second-level ultrasound, and thankfully everything seemed normal, and the baby is doing well. Can you guide me on this and maybe suggest some diet changes that might help with my thyroid condition?
