High TSH: I'm 4weeks 4 days pregnant. In blood work i got thyroide. Tsh is 7.41. though i take medication, does my thyroide affects my baby mental/physic growth? ANS: babies brains are exquisitely sensitive to your thyorid hormone level. Work closely with your Dr to control thyroid as it is critical to brain development. Call tomorrow.
