High tsh level and pregnancy

Hi I am in in 21st week of pregnancy. I did not have any health complaints as of now. But in my latest blood reports we have seen that my TSH levels have come high. My doctor said that sometimes in pregnancy females develop Hypothyroidism. I want to know is there any risk if my TSH levels is high during pregnancy? will it harm my child?
