Thyroid test

I am ten and a half weeks pregnant. When I was six weeks I went to my GP with extreme fatigue which I had been putting down to just being pregnant and having a toddler, but I and become vegetarian a few months before and wondered if this, coupled with the pregnancy had led me to become a bit anaemic. I asked her if she though this was possible and she agreed it might be and sent me for a blood test. At the same time she sent me for a thyroid function test and a full blood count just as a precaution.

I haven't actually had the results back from the tests, I meant to ask at my midwife appointment on Thursday but I forgot. Anyway I've now had a letter from my GP saying she wants to send me for a repeat TFT, plus Free T3 and T4. Does this suggest my initial TFT was abnormal and if so what does this indicate for my pregnancy? Does it pose a risk to my baby? Anyway I'd be very grateful for anyone with a bit of knowledge of this subject to help?
