Your sister suffers hypothyroidism, current accepted level of TSH during the third trimester is less than 3.0 IU/dL This could lead to fetal loss and developmental issues related to the nervous central system. hypothyroidism is also related to pregnancy induced hypertension. Inadecuately treated and subclinical hypothyroidism are all associated with increased risk of miscarriage, pre-eclampsia, anaemia, fetal growth restriction, placental abruption, perinatal mortality and neonatal morbidity. glucose blood levels should be investigated if they were measured during the fasting period. get endocrinologist help
