First-trimester TSH is typically lower, often with an upper limit around 2.5โ€“3.0 mIU/L. Ranges vary by trimester and laboratory.

Can hypothyroidism affect my baby?

Untreated hypothyroidism is associated with adverse outcomes including preterm birth, preeclampsia, and neurodevelopmental impairment.

How often should thyroid be checked during pregnancy?

TSH is usually checked at the first prenatal visit and every 4โ€“6 weeks during the first half of pregnancy, or as clinically indicated.
