It is important to cure hypothyroidism during pregnancy as a hypothyroid mother may have several complications such as stillbirth.
Please get your TSH checked at regular intervals during pregnancy. Taking 50 mcg of levothyroxine will not affect adversely at all so do not worry and concentrate on your pregnancy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
