Your docs need to get their heads out of their asses. Docs don't get to leave on vacation without coverage. someone needs to find who is covering for the high risk specialist NOW. If you can't find someone immediately I would present at the nearest psych hospital or emergency room. There are antimanics that are very useful in pregnancy and nursing if you so choose. i will be praying for you. You MUST get the mania under control.

I have been doing awesome for over 10 mos without meds, pregnant, and still level-headed ... until NOW!!

I am 34 weeks pregnant and currently on a manic episode. My midwife has no psychiatric knowledge ... my OB refuses to prescribe anything for psych ... my psychiatrist refuses to deal with my while pregnant ... AND the high risk pregnancy specialist is on vacation until June 7th ...

Has anyone here been in this situation? I'm on about 5 hrs of sleep for the past 3 days and I can make my head shut up!!

My "baby daddy" (we're not legally married) is trying his best to deal with me, but he is almost clueless on what to do.

Suggestions??
