Thanks for using healthcaremagic.I understand your concerns.
Normal reference TSH range during pregnancy varies depending on the trimester.
In 1st trimester--0.3-4.5mIU/l
In 2nd trimester-- 0.5-4.6mIU/l
in 3rd trimester--0.8-5.2mIU/l
In my opinion,for pregnant women with preexisting hypothyroidism,an increase in dose(20-30%) of hormone replacement with TSH monitoring every 4 weeks is usually needed which i believe the treating physician has already done to attain the normal euthyroid state.
Hope i have answered your query.If any further questions,wish to answer you.
