I'm 5 weeks preg & my TSH level is 5.1. Could my baby already be harmed?

I just got a call from my OB and she is sending me to an Endocrinologist and my TSH level is 5.1. I have hypothyroidism. I was diagnosed in 1992 with Hashimoto's goiter and took meds until 1996 when I had my first child. My levels evened out and I have not been on any meds since then. I will see a specialist next week and will start meds again but am concerned for my baby's health.
