Hi... Congrats on becoming mom... Hypothyroidism itself can cause mental illness... There are  chances of mental illness, miscarriage, preterm deliveries if hypothyroid state is not corrected.  So yes you have to check your thyroid hormone state and then plan for pregnancy.  Also thyroid check up has to be done on the newborn and early treatment started if needed. This improves the risk of the child developing mental illness.....
