i am new to this group. Call me toni and
is good to be here. Ok so here is the
situation I have found myself in. I am
11 days pregnant, how do I know, well I
had intercourse the 28th the 29th was my
due date. My breasts have become swollen
hurt and my nipples hurt. I have begun a
discharge. At first, and yes still now,
I feel something and run to the bathroom
to see if my period has come, I am wearing
myself out. So it is nighttime here and
I am sure I am pregnant. I am bipolar.
I take medications. I need to find
specific information about specific meds
and risk to my baby. Oh yeah and I am 41.
My grandmother gave birth to her last
child at 49. Soooo I pray all is fine.
Of course this pregnancy wasn't planned,
although I had been thinking about my
internal clock......If you can guide me, I
would be glad to here from you thanks,
toni

Have you taken a test to find out for
sure. Also what meds are you taking.
Some are fine to take while pregnant. Do
u have other children?

My bf's mom was like that. She had his
brothers when she was in her twenties.
Then 20 years later along comes jay (my
bf) and she was 43 at the time... So it
happens. And he came out fine. So good
luck :)

Im bipolar, but i've never been pregnant.
Im pretty sure celexa is safe to take
during pregnancy.
They may not want you to breastfeed, to
put u on stronger meds straight after the
birth.
I'd talk to ur doc tho

First if I was you I would take a home
pregnancy test just to make sure....Then
if it shows negative and still no period a
week later I would go to the doctor....As
far as the bipolar part you would have to
ask your doctor!

Hi there! Welcome! Congratulations!
You really need to see your Dr. And
possibly get your bipolar meds changed
with your pregnancy and you should get
stared on the correct kind of pre-natal
vitamins. Good luck
and let us know how things go.
It is a good idea to take a home pregnancy
test 1st and for best results, take it in
the morning 1st thing and remember, they
are not always 100% accurate, the best
thing is a blood test from the drs office.
Sincerely,
sandy
Thank you guys!!!!! I feel much better
after hearing from all of you. Was
feeling a bit overwhelmed before. Of
course my mind took over :) scary
thing.
I have heeded advise, yesterday I bought a
new tester(little health forum) well it
came out negative. I kept thinking maybe
it was possible for it to be false, either
by my fault or product.
Sooooo. I went out again and bought a
more expensive known brand. Tried again
and negative. I have relaxed. The only
thing is that my body says one thing, and
tests another.
I am going to make appt. To have Dr.
Take test to be sure. I will keep you
posted.
Again, thank you for helping me. Feels
good to have all of you talk to me!!!
Toni
