I agree with the other postings that this is a decision you have to make together with your physician and psychiatrist.
The two of you will decide whether the risk to the mother (depression, manic behavior) is more dangerous than the risk to the baby.
Obviously, if you decide to continue, you'll have to be monitored constantly. Additionally, your blood levels will be harder to keep stable because of your weight gain and other hormonal activity.
Good luck! I've given you two good references for lithium and pregnancies.

I think this decision is best left to the Doctor who issued the medication in the first place. Not something you really want to mess around with.

That doesn't sound safe to me. See a doctor and get and opinion.
