I've had 3 pregnancies with bipolar. 2 were when I was undiagnosed and my baby (who is 5 months) I was diagnosed but not on medication.

For me pregnancy always goes fine bipolar wise. I cry a bit more than usual perhaps but I actualll usually feel really good while pregnant and enjoy being pregnant. However, my last two pregnancies I was also going through traumatic experiences that had nothing to do with bipolar.

After my first two pregnancies I had post pardum depression. My first pregnancy was the worst. I actually shaved off all my hair one day. But I had no support or help in any way.The second time I had support and it went better. This third time I have not had post pardum depression. I think my bipolar is different now, however, so I think even if I did have it, it was so mild and was probably just caught up in the mess that is the rest of me.
