I found out i'm a little over a month pregnant, i've been on medicine because i'm bipolar/manic depressant...anyway, i can no longer take my medicine now because of the baby, and i'm experiencing all kinds of insane emotions...i keep thinking my boyfriend is leaving me, which is putting stress on our relationship because really he's doing nothing wrong, it's all being made up in my head...i'm down one minute and up the next minute, smiling here then turning right around and crying for no reason...how do you deal with all the emotions of being bipolar and being pregnant...and are these kind of emotions healthy for my developing baby??

Did your doctor say you couldn't be on medication? I know a lot of people who continued to take anti-depressants during pregnancy. I'd think it's worse for your baby that you suffer these mood disorders, and it possibly could get dangerous.
Perhaps they'd have to lower your dosage, but check again, and if you can't be medicated, talk to a doctor or counselor throughout your pregnancy for support.

I am 5 months pregnant. I am bipolar and I have to go to my prenatal appt every two weeks. I see my ob/gyn b/c of my diabetes. I meet w/my therapist once a week. I see a nurse at my mental health ctr b/c they want to make sure everything is ok b/c of the mood swings. I am not on meds b/c of the effect it will have on my baby boy. Even though I am not w/the father of my child. It was stressful enough b/c we lived together and when I told him I was pregnant he kicked me out. I live w/my older sister and I will be moving into a place of my own once the baby is born. If a problem comes up your doctor can prescribe a low dose of meds for you that won't hurt the baby. I didn't want to take any chances so that's why I decided not to take the meds. See your doctor for more information and make sure everything is going well w/you. I plan on going back on the meds when my son is born, but as long as I keep seeing my doctors and therapist. I should be fine. Pray and most importantly don't get stressed out. Hope this information of my personal experience helps. Take care and God bless.

Just isolate urself when ur feeling ur worst. Explain that u need to do this to ur b/f. Calm urself down. It may not work for hours, but it will prevent u from doing & saying things u'll regret. Sometimes a walk helps.

You will be okay. If you can get though the next eight months you can start the meds again. Eat right, exercising, and getting enough sleep will help your overall well being.
