TSH means thyroid stimulating hormone. The thyroid is responsible for controlling energy consumption, body temperature, weight, and heart rate; as well as your overall body metabolism.
Your thyroid is dependent on your pituitary gland; another part of your endocrine system that is located at the back of the brain.
Your pituitary gland produces the actual thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and regulates your TSH level; and it is the TSH levels produced by the pituitary gland that tells the thyroid to go to work. You may have an issue with the pituitary gland. Higher TSH levels than normal suggests a thyroid that is under-active and not doing its job of producing thyroid hormone.

It is very important that hyperthyroidism be controlled in pregnant women since the risks of miscarriage or birth defects are much higher without therapy. The therapy with medication is tricky to control, so the woman needs to be monitored closely.
