To review the differences between physiological and pathological thyroid dysfunction during pregnancy.
To outline the management strategies for thyroid disorders in pregnant individuals.

Main Methods:

Literature search of MEDLINE and cross-references from selected articles.
Review of relevant clinical studies and review articles.

Main Results:

Differentiating gestational transient thyrotoxicosis (GTT) from pathological hyperthyroidism is key; thionamides are safe with careful monitoring.
