Brief Answer:
Yes, needs to take

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

The requirement of thyroid hormone in pregnancy is more to provide the growing fetus the same.

Hence, even when corrected pregnant women must be over supplemented to meet the needs of the fetus.

If the reading goes below 0.1 then one can think on reducing or stopping the thyroid supplement.

Hope I answered your query.

Please do ask if any doubts.
