hi,thyroid can be familial or many women develop it in pregnancy which will come back to normal after delivery.its more in pregnancy because of the hormonal disturbance in pregnancy.once you start taking tab thyronorm and its well controlled it will have no effect on the fetus.assuming that your doctor has prescribed you just 25 mcg thyronorm your values are not highly deranged to cause harmful effects to the fetus.repeat tsh levels 6 weeks after starting thyroxine.all the best take care.
