Increased risk of maternal thyroid failure with pregnancy progression in an iodine deficient area with major iodine deficiency disorders.

TLDR
The incidence of isolated hypothyroxinemia or biochemical hypothyroidism doubled between midgestation and term in group A, suggesting that moderate iodine deficiency may result in maternal thyroid failure during the later stages of pregnancy.
Abstract
In an effort to assess the impact of moderate iodine deficiency on maternal thyroid function during pregnancy, we measured serum thyrotropin, total and free thyroid hormones, thyroid-binding globul...

Guidelines of the American Thyroid Association for the Diagnosis and Management of Thyroid Disease During Pregnancy and Postpartum The American Thyroid Association Taskforce on Thyroid Disease During Pregnancy and Postpartum

TL;DR: Pregnancy is a stress test for the thyroid, resulting in hypothyroidism in women with limited thyroidal reserve or iodine deficiency, and postpartum thyroiditis inWomen with underlying Hashimoto’s disease who were euthyroid prior to conception.

Clinical practice guideline: Management of thyroid dysfunction during pregnancy and postpartum: An endocrine society clinical practice guideline

TL;DR: Management of thyroid diseases during pregnancy requires special considerations because pregnancy induces major changes in thyroid function, and maternal thyroid disease can have adverse effects on the pregnancy and the fetus.

2014 European Thyroid Association Guidelines for the Management of Subclinical Hypothyroidism in Pregnancy and in Children

TL;DR: This guideline has been produced as the official statement of the European Thyroid Association guideline committee and indicates that targeted antenatal screening for thyroid function will miss a substantial percentage of women with thyroid dysfunction.

Regulation of Maternal Thyroid during Pregnancy

TL;DR: The alterations in maternal thyroid function during gestation are intricate and far from fully understood, and regulation of the maternal thyroid is complex, resulting from both elevated hCG and increasing TSH.

Increased need for thyroxine during pregnancy in women with primary hypothyroidism.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the need for thyroxine increases in many women with primary hypothyroidism when they are pregnant, as reflected by an increase in serum thyrotropin concentrations.

A randomized trial for the treatment of mild iodine deficiency during pregnancy: maternal and neonatal effects.

TL;DR: The present work emphasizes the potential risk of goitrogenic stimulation in both mother and newborn in the presence of mild iodine deficiency, and demonstrated that the administration of T4 did not hamper the beneficial effect of iodine supplementation.
