Hello
Welcome to HCM
Thanks for posting your query. I understand your concerns.

Hypothyroidism is very common during pregnancy in which levels of TSH will be high. It is due to extra demands of the growing baby, body tries to secrete more and more thyroid hormone.

Tablet Thyronorm is nothing but T4 hormone also called thyroxine hormone. It is very much essential for the baby's overall development mainly brain. So no need to worry. It doesn't have any harm to the baby.

But take tablets regularly. Do Thyroid profile at regular intervals to check out the hormonal statu.

Hope you are happy with the answer.

Thank you
