The eastern side of the state lays claim to six of the nation's top 18 counties with the highest thyroid-cancer rates, according to figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

If you have thyroid disease, you should have your thyroid monitored during your pregnancy. If thyroid disease runs in your family or you have symptoms of thyroid disease, see your doctor for testing. It's important to treat hypothyroidism, low thyroid levels, during pregnancy. Left untreated, hypothyroidism can cause developmental and motor delays in children born to mothers with the condition. If you have hypothyroidism, do not stop taking your medication while pregnant. Some women may develop hyperthyroidism, high thyroid levels (or Graves disease), during pregnancy. Left untreated, hyperthyroidism can cause pre-eclampsia or premature birth for the baby.
