This article will differentiate Graves’ disease from gestational transient thyrotoxicosis (GTT) and discuss treatments and management for this condition. It is the role of the midwife to be knowledgeable and understand medical conditions and how they may affect pregnancy, whilst also working in partnership with the multidisciplinary team to ensure a safe birth.
