Have any of you have gone through pregnancy while diagnosed as bipolar?

I've talked to my pdoc who said I cannot go off medications during pregnancy due to the severity of my illness, and on Monday I'll see my counselor, and then on July 1st I'll be seeing my ob/gyn, so I need to know as much information as possible before making any decisions.

I would like to know: did you take meds while pregnant or did you go off them, were there any complications with your stability/any episodes while pregnant because of taking/not taking medications, were there any complications with the fetus during or after birth, and if your child has grown up, does your child have bipolar or any other illness?
