gestational thyrotoxicosis

gestational thyrotoxicosis
thyrotoxicosis during pregnancy, owing to an excess of the normal increase in thyroid gland stimulation. It is usually transient, but if it persists, such as in a woman with Graves disease, she is at higher risk for complications such as preterm delivery or preeclampsia.
