In Pregnancy Tsh Level?

The Endocrine Society recommends that TSH levels be maintained between 0.2-<2.5 mU/L in the first trimester of pregnancy and between 0.3-3 mU/L in the remaining trimesters. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between TSH levels in early pregnancy and the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Is TSH 4.2 normal in pregnancy?

The clinical implication of this study is that a TSH greater than 2.5 mIU/L may not be normal during the first trimester of pregnancy. This study suggests that the upper limit of the TSH normal range should be redefined as less than 2.5 mIU/L during pregnancy.

What happens if TSH level is high during pregnancy?

Thyroid hormone has an important role in brain development of the baby during pregnancy. It is clear that overt hypothyroidism (increased TSH levels and low thyroid hormone levels) in the mother, especially early in pregnancy, can affect the baby's brain development or cause other problems with the pregnancy.
