Newborn disease screening TSH weakly positive is very serious?

Patient's question:

Health consultation description: TSH levels were low or high during early pregnancy blood tests (I forgot), but in the second trimester, the re-examination results were within the normal range. The baby was born, and the heel blood test showed a weakly positive TSH. This re-examination, is the possibility of neonatal hypothyroidism high?
