Background: Excess of iodine during pregnancy can give a special problem. Diagnosis of hyperthyroidism during pregnancy can cause first-trimester spontaneous abortions, high rates ofstill births and neonatal deaths, two- to threefold increases in the frequency of low birth weight infants, preterm delivery, fetal or neonatal hyperthyroidism, and intrauterine growth retardation. Odjective: These studies examine the relationship between TSH levels in pregnant women with a history of pregnancy and birth mothers in1DD endemic areas. Method: This study is a non-intervention with cross sectional comparative design. ln previous research carried out screening for pregnant women who live in areas of endemic iodine deficiency disorder. From the results of screening found 67 pregnant women, where 32 pregnant women have a lower TSH «0.3 ulll/ml) and 35 pregnant women had normal TSH levels (0.3-3.611'1U/ml). After giving birth mothers checked TSH level again and recorded the history o[his birth. Result: ln this study there was no difference for complaints during pregnancy that leads to the signs ofhyperthvroidism between group of pregnant women with low TSH and group of pregnant women with normal TSH. There was no significant difference between postpartum maternal TSH and TSH babies group ofpregnant women with low TSH and group ofpregnant women with normal TSH. There was a significant differencefor TSH mother before and after deli velJl. Conclusions: Low serum TSH value has no effect on the clinical state ofpregnant women and infants born allegedly under the influence of the increase olhCG in the .first trimester of pregnancy, is not because of the circumstances leading to hyperthyroid mothers. But in this study hCG levels pregnant women are not were measured. Key words: low TSH, pregnant women, birth mothet.
