Hi I can fully understand your worry. TSH hormones is required for overall growth of fetus... so in all  circumstances this medicine should be continued.  Your endocrinologist and OBG doctor would keep a close follow up for the TSH level. Just follow their advice

The increased dose of thyroxine will bring down the tsh hopefully, be in regular folow up with a endocrinologist and gynaecologist. The lower the tsh better the outcome will be, anywhere around 2.5 is best, and the newborn has to be mandatorily screened for thyroid profile and  xray knee planned to see for epiphyseal centre.
