Managing Thyroid Disease During and After Pregnancy: Guidelines

Antibodies, Graves' Disease and the Newborn: Guidelines

If a woman with elevated TSH receptor-stimulating or TSH receptor-binding antibodies is treated with antithyroid drugs, fetal ultrasound evaluation should be conducted. This ultrasound should look for evidence of thyroid dysfunction in the developing baby including slow growth and enlarged thyroid, among other signs.

If a new mother has Graves’ disease, her newborn should be evaluated for thyroid dysfunction after birth.
