BluViolet, I've had four children so far after my diagnosis of bipolar disorder. I had three of them while on meds (with the first, I only took an antidepressant, and only during part of the first trimester). All of them are happy and healthy.

I am so sorry to hear that your psychiatrist was not understanding and helpful. I hope you will be able to find someone better when you need to.

I second the advice to beware of postpartum depression. I had that after my second was born and it tore my family apart. If you don't have support from friends or family for you and your baby, I would make finding loving helpful support one of my top priorities before the baby is born, even if you have to start with a pro-life pregnancy center. (I don't mean to say that like it would be a bad thing, but just because you don't know the people there yet)
