Back to Top Causes. Hypothyroidism in the newborn may be caused by: 1  A missing or poorly developed thyroid gland. 2  A pituitary gland that does not stimulate the thyroid gland. 3  Thyroid hormones that are poorly formed or do not work.
Hypothyroidism and pregnancy. During the first few months of pregnancy, the fetus relies on the mother for thyroid hormones. Thyroid hormones play an essential part in normal brain development. Deprivation of the maternal thyroid hormone due to hypothyroidism can have irreversible effects on the fetus. Early studies found that children born to mothers with hypothyroidism during pregnancy had lower IQ and impaired psychomotor (mental and motor) development.
