What should I do if I am diagnosed with hypothyroidism at 3 months pregnant?

Patient's question:

Pre-natal check-up revealed hypothyroidism, T3: 2.16 (reference range 1.30-3.10), T4: 126.66 (reference range 66.00-181.00), FT3: 4.09 (reference range 3.10-6.80), FT4: 14.84 (reference range 12.00-22.00), TSH: 4.97 (reference range 0.27-4.20). Additionally, fasting blood glucose TPG: 5.66, which is slightly elevated. After careful examination, I have already started taking 0.25 tablets of levothyroxine sodium daily as recommended by the doctor.
Hello: Is there a significant impact on the fetus at this stage?
Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Taking 0.25 tablets of levothyroxine sodium daily provides what kind of help?
What should be noted in the diet of a hypothyroid pregnant woman?

Doctor's answer:

From what you described, you need to have a re-examination of your thyroid function. Your careful examination results only show a slightly elevated TSH, and this result cannot be used to diagnose hypothyroidism. The diagnosis of hypothyroidism is most important for the first few indicators to be low. As for your blood sugar, it is indeed slightly high, and further careful examination of post-meal blood sugar is needed. Currently, there is no need to make special dietary adjustments. We are awaiting the re-examination results. Wishing you health and happiness.
