Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Hypothyroidism in pregnancy with increased TSH levels have to be treated by thyroid hormone replacement.
If her TSH level are more than3.5 in pregnancy, then her thyronorm dose needs to be increased to control the hormonal levels.
There is no diet available to normalize thyroid hormone levels.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
