I am pregnant with a Graves
Disease my doctor has me on
on a medicine called PTU
which would classify me as
a risk pregnancy instead of going
the midwife route I am going to
go to a Maternal Fetal Specialist
my question is if I go to
MTFS do I have to also choose
a OBGYN? or do most MTFS also

cause I am confused as to whether
I have to have a MTFS and a OBGYN
or Just a MTFS
