I was wondering if there are any good sites to go to that could give me information on how my bipolar would be if I had another baby?

The reason I asked was not beause I want more now it's because if its going to be worse i don't want to have anymore because i dont want my child to suffer.

From every thing I've heard and read it isn't a good idea to take your medication when you're pregnant.You would need to ask your own doctor about that.If you can't take your meds it would stand to reason that your bipolar disorder would take a turn for the worse.It also depends on how severe your case is.i know the urge for another baby is sometimes over whelming.You and your doctor will need to decide if it's safe to have another baby and you should also remember that you have two other children to consider.How will they react to Mom perhaps acting differently or not being there at times.Do you have a good support to help if things get tough?Try to Google mental disorders specializing in bi-polar.But the best advice you will get would be from your doctor.And you.See if any of the sites you find with Google has a chat forum.Stories from other moms will help.But you've already done this right?How was it with the other two kids?That should tell you if it will be bad again.Be careful you don't want to jepordize what you already have.Think about it ,pray about it and talk to your doctor about it.Good Luck.

I don't want to be rude, but how can this possible turn out well? Another child can only increase your stress and make functioning more challenging. 2 kids and a chronic major mood disorder is more than enough to cope with!

I hope these help. I do know that the meds that keep you in sync can be dangerous...but your dr could advise more info,

I'd be talking to my Dr about what you're doing BEFORE you do it...it could be dangerous for you and all your children.
