I had both my kids before being diagnosed.

Myself, as much as I would love to have a third. I cannot put myself or another child through what I've gone through these past few years. I felt disconnected from both my children as infants, I missed most of my daughters 2nd year of life in bed with severe depression. My mood swings scare my kids and was the reason I found a therapist.

I have a friend with BP and has four kids. We're not super close but she seems to handle pregnancy and life just fine. I do not know if she takes meds while pregnant but I do know she has help from her parents all the time.

I think part of the process is making sure you have a good support system in place.
