Thyroid dysfunction in pregnancy has been associated with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and poor maternal and fetal outcomes. In this article, we describe two cases of significant thyroid dysfunction leading to new diagnoses of chronic hypertension in pregnancy and review physiologic changes in the thyroid gland, placenta and maternal cardiovascular system during pregnancy.
