Normal: Your thyroid levels are normal. You did not mention whether you are on thyroid hormone or not. If you are, you should get thyroid levels done periodically during the pregnancy to make sure that the levels remain normal, regardless of whether the baby's thyroid is working or not. The fetal thyroid starts making thyroid hormone during the second trimester, but normal mother levels are still needed

Very normal: Hi. your TSH and free T4 are completely normal. And at 12 weeks, your fetus is right now starting to make his/her own thyroid hormone. From a thyroid standpoint, both you and your fetus are in good shape. Have a safe and easy labor...28 weeks away!
