Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for your query.
Your tsh levels are above normal range. That means that you have hypothyroidism. Your thyroid gland isnt producing enough hormone. You will need to take medication for that. In pregnancy its important that your thyroid levels are under control,because it may affect the developing fetus. You will need to take eltroxin and the dosage has to be adjusted according to your tsh levels.You should see your OB for the prescription.
It may or may not have been there in your previous pregnancy.
Hope I have answered your query. Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
