summary/abstract:Las hormonas tiroideas son cruciales para el desarrollo normal del cerebro y del sistema nervioso del bebé.

Alrededor de la semana 12, la tiroides del bebé empieza a funcionar por sí sola, pero no produce suficiente hormona tiroidea hasta las 18 a 20 semanas de embarazo.
Dos hormonas relacionadas con el embarazo, la gonadotropina coriónica humana (hCG, por sus siglas en inglés) y el estrógeno, causan concentraciones más altas de la hormona tiroidea en la sangre.
