It is very common for thyroid needs to increase during the second trimester. Her TSH of 5.41 is slightly elevated, so her levothyroxine (Thyronorm) dose likely needs a small increase. Please consult her doctor promptly to safely adjust her dosage. For her diet, ensure she uses iodized salt and eats nutrient-rich foods. Crucially, she should take her Thyronorm on an empty stomach with water first thing in the morning and wait at least 4 hours before taking prenatal vitamins, iron, or calcium, as these interfere with absorption.
