A member asked:
At 37 weeks pregnant tsh is 5.5 and 3t4 is .77 how does that effect my fetus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is probably ok: A slightly elevated TSH indicates mild thyroid failure. Early in pregnancy, even that can affect the fetal development, although changes are probably minimal. At the 37th weeks, the fetus has a fully functioning thyroid, so that slight hypothyroidism in the mother is not expect to cause any effect.
