Two issues in OB: With regard to your prior c-section, the main issue is whether you are planning on trying for a vaginal birth. It is not safe if the interval between deliveries is 18 months or less. In your case, the inter-delivery interval is only about 14 months. You should request a c-section. With regard to the graves disease, you need testing of thyroid antibodies and thyroid function!

Pregnancy: You should be ok with your pregnancy, although, it will take its toll given that you've not fully recovered from your previous pregnancy. Graves' disease definitely must be treated, otherwise, it may affect your pregnancy negative by affecting your heart, eyes, and other organs. In some instances miscarriages have been attributed to it as well.
