Did you stay on medication during your pregnancy? If so, did you children have any birth defects?

Do your children show signs of bipolar disorder?

How much do you think the disorder effects your ability to be a good parent?
I was out on Zoloft during my 3 pregnancies - none of the three have birth defects except my middle one- 12- has a closed hole at the base of her spine which seems familial and then a hole in the pinea of her ear which is not problematic. My other two do not have any problems. I was not diagnosed bipolar until 5 years after my youngest was born though I had hallucinations and reported them.
