Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
The thyroid hormone is very important in pregnancy for baby growth.
As baby grows the thyroid demand on body increases, so if the body doesn't secrete enough hormone then your baby will be deprived of the same.
So all pregnancy patients should do this test.
Ideally in pregnancy complete thyroid profile with free T3 ,freeT4, and TSH is done. It is difficult to comment only on basis of one report. Looking at the value you have mentioned you may be having excess of hormone. But we cannot diagnose only on basis of one report. I recommend that you do the complete profile in a reputed lab and please upload the reports.
Thanks.
