Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. If the tuberculosis is treated prior to pregnancy, there is no effect on the baby. Even if one has tuberculosis while pregnant, it has no effect on the foetus. The effect is due to the drugs which is given for the treatment of tuberculosis.
I would suggest you not to worry as of now.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
