Pregnancy raises the thyroid demand in your body. Any TSH level more than 2.5 in the first 3 months shows early thyroid deficiency. You should take medicines to correct the thyroid deficiency, in order to avoid problems like miscarriage and also ensure adequate brain development of the baby. From 4th to 6th month if TSH if above 3 again it shows need for medication.
