Pregnancy Care

Hormones play an important role throughout pregnancy, influencing the health and wellbeing of both mother and baby. Some women develop endocrine conditions for the first time during pregnancy, such as gestational diabetes or thyroid dysfunction, while others enter pregnancy with an existing condition, including diabetes, thyroid disease, PMOS, pituitary or adrenal disorders.

Pregnancy brings significant hormonal and metabolic changes, which can alter how an existing endocrine condition needs to be managed. Thyroid hormone requirements may change, diabetes treatment often needs careful adjustment, and some medications may need to be reviewed before conception or during pregnancy. Regular monitoring and timely adjustments to treatment can help support a healthy pregnancy for both mother and baby.

Planning for pregnancy can be particularly valuable for women with an existing endocrine condition. Preconception care provides an opportunity to optimise hormone levels, glucose management and medications, and to develop a plan for pregnancy in advance.

Care continues after your baby is born. The postnatal period brings further hormonal changes and may require adjustment of medications, diabetes treatment or thyroid therapy. We also provide assessment and management of conditions that can emerge after pregnancy, including postpartum thyroid dysfunction.

At Evolve, we provide individualised endocrine care before, during and after pregnancy, working closely with your obstetrician, GP and other members of your healthcare team. Our aim is to provide specialist care that adapts with you through each stage, from pregnancy planning through pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period.
