didnt know if i should post here or on preg board.
i have been off of meds for 4 yrs b\c of ins. now im preg. and have been feeling like im going insane. does anybody know if its possible to have more rapid cycling while preg?

i'm really apprehensive as well. i am recently dx'd bipolar and on medication, yet i hope to get pregnant within the next ten months or so. please guys, for lil_egg and me (and others, i'm sure), please share your pregnancy experiences and how you coped. did you stay off meds throughout the pregnancy? did you breast feed or get back on meds soon after? thanks for your help and good luck to you, lil_egg!

well, i was not on meds with all 3 of my pregnancys...but let me say my pregnancys were not the picket fence marrige cutsie mommy daddy situations either. So i was stressed, sick, all the above...and bipolar...but did not know it...it was after my 3rd child that i was diagnosed properly with it. Post partum was so ugly...my second husband left...he did not understand it at all, did not want to deal with it...had other girls to do....litterally...

Now...i would just take one day at a time...talk to the doc about vitamins, id not work if possible...relax, stay away from stress...just baby yourself, more than you normally would if your pregnant...i did not breast feed so i dont know about that....
