Taking levothyroxine when pregnant: side effects anyone?

Hi I’m taking levothyroxine for my under-active thyroid I’m 24+5 weeks pregnant and have been getting really bad headaches and feeling generally crap all the time.. I forgot to take the tablet the other day and the next day I felt way better than I have been feeling and no headaches (which felt so good as I’ve been having them everyday for weeks now) I purposely didn’t take it again and same thing the next day.. so then last night I took the tablet and feel awful again today! Anyone else having symptoms like this?

    I am on levothyroxine and had no side effects while pregnant. Only change was they upped my meds by 25 grams which is standard practice. You should be getting regular blood tests to check your levels x
