I am 12 weeks pregnant. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism before pregnant and I was taking medication and it was under control. But when i checked at 11 th week it was 8.43. Doctor increased the dosage to 75 mcg. Will this high TSH level effect the baby? Is there something to worry?

TSH helps in brain growth of the baby, which he/she gets from mother's blood.
Also the level of TSH is different in pregnancy.
We try to keep TSH level near normal
Hypothyroidism does affect the child if not brought under control as it may cause developmental delay, but now that the medication dose is increased, you will have to monitor the TSH levels and have it corrected, which shouldn't cause any problem for the baby.
