Bipolar Pregnancy
Many women with bipolar disorder wonder what is going to happen to them when they become pregnant. How will they deal with their medication and their mood disorder and still keep mom and baby safe?
What do I do if I'm bipolar and pregnant?
Is there help?
Women with bipolar disorder already have a lot to worry about, but when a bipolar woman gets pregnant, she has double the worries. In this situation, it is best for the woman, her psychiatrist and her OBGYN to get together and come up with a plan that will benefit both the mother and her child for the duration of the pregnancy.

Medications
What is safe?
There are a few medications for bipolar that actually have little or no adverse side effects for the fetus. Lithium and Depakote are two of these medications. After you have formed a plan with both your doctor and your psychiatrist for your bipolar pregnancy, make sure that you continue taking your medication. Pregnancy mood swings are hard enough for regular moms, but for moms with bipolar disorder, they can be life threatening, so don't forget the meds!
