Brief Answer:
Yes,you can continue.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
Congratulations on your pregnancy!
I can understand your concerns.
I have gone through your history and here are the answer of your questions.
1) Yes you can continue both the tablet simultaneously because during pregnancy you should take folic acid at least 5 mg / day because other drug contains only 1.5 mg it is not sufficient ( it is an important drug for neurological development of baby).
2) Yes you can do normal household activities if you are not having any medical problem but avoid heavy weight lifting, climbing stairs and squatting position and bending on knee.
Hope found useful, feel free to discuss more information.
Good luck.

Brief Answer:
Are you on thyroid medication.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
You are most welcome.
I have gone through your reports and everything is find normal except a slight increase in TSH level and haemoglobin is on lower side.
During pregnancy we are usually maintain TSH below 2.5, for this you should consult your treating doctor and take thyroxin tablet for the same.
During pregnancy level of thyroid hormone should be maintained because it is very important hormone for neurological development of foetus.
Your haemoglobin is towards lower side, so eat healthy and nutritious diet to maintain haemoglobin level.
Iron tablets starts after first trimester.

Good luck.

Brief Answer:
It is curable.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Sorry for the delay in my response.
This much increase in TSH is not a major issue and with intake of thyroxin you can keep it under control.
As we are not having any previous report of TSH before pregnancy so it is difficult to say whether it is pregnancy induced or you are having before.
But do not worry with proper medication you can keep it under control.
For low haemoglobin you can have jaggery, apple,banana,pomgranate,beet root,gram dal, walnut.
Consume a healthy and balanced diet to increase your haemoglobin level.
Hope it is useful.
Good luck.
