Graves' Disease Support Group

Hello , I am 22 and happily married I just found
out me and my husband will be expecting our first
child together I have 1 daughter from a previous marriage
I am currently on 300mg PTU for Graves Disease my Doctor
tested my thyroid levels before I became pregnant and said I
was toxic and put me on the above amount..I also had Galachtohrea
that my doctor thought might have been a Tumor and it turned out be nothing so I found out I was pregnant before my doctor had enough time to do a thyroid uptake scan ....I guess my question is can I expect to have a healthy pregnancy while I am on PTU? My first child was induced because I had Pre-Eclampsia which was brought on by undiagnosed
Graves Disease she was 4 pounds and 13 ounces......is it true that a lot of women suffer miscarriages and have babies with Birth Defects and Goiters while on PTU? I want to have a Natural Birth...will I even be able to have a Midwife? I am not sure if my Graves is under control or not I feel fine though no tremors, I gained a lot of weight, no heart palpitations, or sweating, I do have a small goiter that doesn't really bother me.....I get a little trembley under stressful situations but that's it
