The normal value of thyroid stimulating hormone in pregnant women must be controlled within a reasonable range. Next, let’s learn about the normal value of thyroid stimulating hormone in pregnant women.

The normal value of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) for pregnant women is controlled below 2.5, and for normal people it can be controlled below 5.5. Pregnant women must pay attention to the normal range of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). If the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is elevated, it will seriously affect the intelligence of the fetus.

The child will also be obese, and his intelligence and development will be lower than those of children of the same age.
