TSH rates during pregnancy in the 2nd trimester

Determination of hormones in pregnant women is carried out several times during the entire period of childbearing. In the 2nd trimester of pregnancy, the determination of hormonal substances is mandatory. At this time, the risk of developing various pathologies increases significantly.

All nine months of pregnancy, the baby is actively growing and developing in the maternal tummy. For optimal growth and development of the child, it is very important that the concentration of hormonal substances in the mother be physiological. Any displacement will cause the developing baby to form incorrectly.

At the very least, he will manifest various anomalies and defects in the structure of his internal organs.

TTG is a basic indicator. It plays an important role in many biological reactions of the body. The balance between thyroid and hormonal substances of the thyroid gland is vital

By the second period of carrying a baby, the hormones in the bloodstream begin to change. Usually this situation manifests itself by the middle of this period. In the earliest weeks of pregnancy, this indicator does not change significantly in pregnant women. Some experts prefer to use special tables in which normal indicators are entered.

It is possible to pass the analysis for the determination of thyroid-stimulating hormone both in an ordinary clinic and in a private laboratory. No serious preparation is required for this. It is important that the delivery of the biochemical indicator occurred on an empty stomach. You can drink some water before testing.

Dinner on the eve of a visit to the laboratory should be as light as possible. Eat fatty and fried foods should not be. They may lead to false results.

Doctors consider the normal values ​​of this hormone substance in the blood its concentration is from 0.4 to 4 mIU / ml.

Any abnormalities require additional diagnostics. If a woman has such a violation, she must consult with an endocrinologist.

If the result of the analysis deviates from the norm, a mandatory check is required. For this, doctors recommend re-passing this laboratory analysis in 1-1.5 weeks.

It is best to conduct it in another laboratory. If the value of this analysis also deviates from the norm, a mandatory consultation with an endocrinologist is required. A high level of thyreotropin in the blood provokes an increase in the concentration of thyroid hormone substances. Doctors call this clinical condition hypothyroidism.

If this balance is disturbed significantly, then the pregnant woman has adverse symptoms. Persistent hypothyroidism affects the fact that different pathologies begin to form in the developing baby.

The decrease in the hormonal substances of the thyroid in the blood contributes to the fact that a pregnant woman increases body weight. Also, severe swelling of the legs and face. The whole body becomes friable, pasty.

The emotional background of the future mommy is changing. She becomes more depressed, whiny. Most women become very nervous. During the day they become more sleepy. At night, the future mother is very difficult to sleep.

In order to correct the formed violations, the doctor will prescribe medications to the pregnant woman that normalize the hormonal balance. "Thyroxine" and "Eutiroks" - often prescribed means for this condition. Such drugs are selected individually and are discharged only by the endocrinologist.

The reduced level of thyreotropin in the blood contributes to the fact that the blood levels of thyroid hormone substances become elevated. This reverse clinical situation is called hyperthyroidism specialists.

This pathology is no less dangerous. If she develops in a woman when carrying a baby, then very negative clinical manifestations begin to appear.

Women suffering from hyperthyroidism become aggressive. They often break down on their loved ones, on her husband. Many future mothers with such pathologies experience strong mood swings.

For the correction of emerging disorders, doctors prescribe a whole range of therapy for pregnant women. This treatment is symptomatic. The selection of drugs is carried out very carefully, since the use of funds may entail adverse effects on the fetus

All pregnant women with various irregularities in the concentration of these hormones should be observed by the endocrinologist during the entire pregnancy. Most of the pathologies that have arisen are fully normalized after the birth of the baby.
