Congrats on the job - Stressed is right but adding a baby to it... Oh, boy, Oh boy... or girl. I think "farmergirl" is on the right track. And you might not need to stay off the meds as long as you think...

Mom's can back me up here... It's my understanding that moderate use of alcohol is allowed in the 3rd trimester. My thought is if that is o.k. then maybe some meds are o.k. to during that period of time.

But I'm a guy, true I have 4 kids, but I did not carry them for 9 months.... You know your body and mind better then any one. The fact that you are worried tells me you understand your "diagnosis" and you know your triggers. The real question might not be wether you can do both, it might be what one is more important to you right now.

Sometimes what we 'want' is not really what we 'need'.

that's my 2cents.
