Answer 2

Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is released by pituitary gland which in turn control the release of thyroid hormones from the thyroid gland.

Explanation:

Generally, the thyroid stimulating hormone level varies during pregnancy. Thyroid level during pregnancy should be less than the 2.5 mU/L. So, higher level of TSH leads to hyperthyroidism in pregnant women. Anti-thyroid medicine should be given to pregnant women to decrease the TSH level. These medications are generally prescribed in the first trimester. Thyroid hormone is needed for nervous system development of the fetus.
