Newbie In Wi Considering Pregnancy With Bp Posted: 01-18-06 01:51am
Hi, my name is jessica and i'm 25 y/o. I
was diagnosed w/ bipolar this past october
about 3 days after returning from my
honeymoon. My husband and I had
previously discussed trying to get
pregnant after a year. Then I found out
about my bp and went on lamictal. I am
seriously concerned about getting pregnant
on medication. I don't like the risks of
defects to an unborn child.
I have thought about going off meds during
pregnancy, but I don't know what that
would do, I know it's a risk too. But
i've also heard that there is a
possibility that being pregnant with bp
can also even you out so to speak.
I am not sure what to do.... And any
advice would be greatly appreciated.
