I've had three children, two before diagnosis and one after. I was not on meds for any of them, but pregnancy seems to be good for my brain. I do really well. Even my last two pregnancies I was going through pretty traumatic things with both, but I did better while pregnant. Just something about it makes me strong or something, I don't know.

The first two ended with pretty bad post-pardum depression (but like I said that second one I also had some traumatic events going on.) The third one I didn't have any post pardum-depression. But I do think my bipolar is worse in general than it was when I had my second son, so I find that interesting. My boys are both a challenge and a blessing to me.
