Question: Hi,

I am 25 weeks pregnant currently, I had TSH checked yesterday and it is 5.10. I am worried as it is high. Currently i am talking half a tablet of thyronorm 12.5mcg from monday to friday and full tablet on saturday and sunday.
Please let me know if abnormal thyroid levels effect my unborn baby before and after birth. If yes how does it affect and what can be done for that.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX Welcome to Health Care Magic Forum. Thanks for trusting is with your health query. Your TSH LEVELS are above normal which indicates hypothyroidism, which can cause growth and mental retardation in new born
. I crease your thyroid intake to 25 microgram once every day. Repeat TSH levels after 7 days and get back with results. Regards Dr Manisha Jain.
