Pregnant and Bipolar

Hi,
Just found out i'm pregnant . I'm afraid to take my litihum because of possible birth defects but i'm also afraid that i'm not taking my medication for obvious reasons. I know i have to see my doctor ASAP but untill then any advice from someone who has been in this situation ? I'm really happy that i am pregnant but the risks are weighing on me right now. This is my third night without meds and i probably won't get to see my doctor for another 5 or 6 days.
Thanks,
Milla

Re: Pregnant and Bipolar

Can you place a call to your doctor or his/her assistant so that he/she could answer your question and call you back? I know that my doctor and his assistant do things like this regulary. Just an idea. Then that would help you be able to relax about things.

Re: Pregnant and Bipolar

Update:
Turns out I was not pregnant at this time. If I was it was not for long so I guess we'll call it a false positive on the preg test.
I have an 8 week old girl now though !!
