Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic.
I have gone through your query.
I think I have understood your concern, I will try to suggest you the best possible treatment options.
1] Please do not panic.
2] Patient needs to be counselled about use of anti thyroid drug and it's use and effects on baby.
3] Doctor in charge will decide, if benefits of medicine are more than risks involved, then lowest possible dose is given.
4] One needs to stop the drug 3 to 4 weeks before expected date of delivery, to avoid effects on baby.Also, while breast feeding this medicine is not advised.
5] If she has other symptoms like tremors, palpitations ; it is suggested to use Labetelol- safe beta blocker during pregnancy.

I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you good health.
