In the end, I think they are being ridiculous and downright discriminatory. Even if you weren't Bipolar, you are pregnant for crying out loud! Of course you need as little stress as possible and your brain might be a little cloudy at times.

Oh, yeah, NAMI. I didn't think of them. Thanks! Hmmm... maybe DBSA as well, now that you mention it.
I do think I need a new job. I am going to have time to look. I've been there four years, so I'm not a job hopper at this time like I was as a young adult, thank heavens. It's the economy that scares me, especially with a new baby. But, I know that it is unhealthy to stay there.
I was reading and it says that if you're pregnant they can't force you to stop working if you want to and you're physically capable of it. So I have that as well. I don't think "forced maternity" leave is legal... >.>
But yes, I will look secretly for a job. I need to find something a little lower stress.
