Hypothyroidisms in pregnancy is not uncommon. Lack of maternal awareness regarding hypothyroidism and its effects, impedes their compliance with the treatment and follow up. Untreated hypothyroidism may be associated with miscarriage, preterm birth, birth weight disorders, IUFD, preeclampsia, post-partum hemorrhage, abruption placenta and anemia. In Qatar, with diverse nationalities of patient, there is a need to look into the prevalence of hypothyroidism and complications associated in pregnancy. This will be beneficial in reducing maternal and fetal morbidity by addressing them as high-risk pregnancy and offering these patients early booking in the clinic. So, a retrospective trial was conducted to assess the fetal outcomes in hypothyroid pregnant women and their post-partum compliance was assessed.
