I'm not bipolar per se, I'm schizoaffective. When I fell pregnant I wasn't aware of my diagnoses (though I knew something was different with me compared to others.) I had quite dramatic mood swings through pregnancy, then post natal euphoria, which peaked as psychosis. (Fortunately my delusions were incredibly positive, my son was never in any danger, since I considered him my "angel baby".) About six months post partum I got very depressed, and then started cycling again, but I must say that in some way my psychosis actually helped me bond in a very positive way with my baby. So it's not all doom and gloom.
