When I was 39 last year I talked to my psychiatrist and gyenocologist about the possiblity of becoming pregnant with my bipolar. I was told I would have to go off all my meds as soon as I started trying to become pregnant because I guess the minute you do get pregnant the baby is exposed to the meds and it is not good. So depending on how long it took to become pregnant I could have to be off my meds possibly 2 years or so and I cannot see that happening. Both doctors agreed it was a big risk and I am glad I decided not to have a child because there is no telling if I would be stable. It was just a risk I was not willing to take.
