Graves an new pregnancy

Hey all,

After my last baby 2 1/2 years ago I got a hyperthyriod (they said pregnancy induced graves) I tried taking PTU but had an allergic reaction to it so I had to stop. My levels were never that bad, it's just I had some symptoms that bothered me. Like nausea, dizzyness ect.
Now being newly pregnant only 5 1/2 weeks so far I feel no nausea, which is a great thing considering I have had nausea for 2 1/2 years.

I am not taking any meds, and I was just wondering has anyone else been diagnosed with graves before getting pregnant? Also what can I expect to happen through out my pregnancy??
TIA
Marissa
