Hello,
You are suffering from hypothyroidism and need thyroxine supplement urgently because persistent hypothyroidism would harm your baby,because thyroxine is required for normal brain development of foetus.
There is nothing to worry as the treament is easy and once your levels of TSH are brought to normal,there won't be any harm to your baby or you.
Thanks
