    OK...I don't know if I'm beginning to panic without sufficient cause, but my brother just told me today he and his girlfriend are going to have a baby. She is six weeks along. What concerns me is that she has Grave's disease, and does ANYONE know how this effects the baby?

    I'd appreciate any and all comments. Thanks...Jane

    How about simply letting a doctor tell them IF they need to be concerned?

    "Pregnant women who have UNCONTROLLED Grave's disease can pass the disorder on to their unborn children. The condition can also cause miscarriage, stillbirth, or premature birth."

    so, anyway, leave it to the doctor.
