Hi I can fully understand your worry.
TSH hormones is required for overall growth of fetus... so in all circumstances this medicine should be continued. Your endocrinologist and OBG doctor would keep a close follow up for the TSH level. Just follow their advice

The increased dose of thyroxine will bring down the tsh hopefully, be in regular folow up with a endocrinologist and gynaecologist. The lower the tsh better the outcome will be, anywhere around 2.5 is best, and the newborn has to be mandatorily screened for thyroid profile and xray knee planned to see for epiphyseal centre.
Continue with thyroid medicines
On no account she should stop thyroid
Check periodically TSH
Check Blood sugar also
The rest can be seen after ultrasound
Consult gynaecologist
