I did not read all the other posts. I think most are about medications. I have two children and haven't been prego in 8 years so I don't know about the meds now. I do know that being pregnant really put me on a roller coaster ride. Both times, even before I knew I was pregnant I had serious episodes of mood issues. The second time I ended up in outpatient and lost my job because I couldn't get myself there. IMO, aside from meds, the best thing you can do is build up support and an emergency plan beforehand. Research the effects of pregnancy and share the info with all your loved ones. I'd also recommend journaling before hand about your disorder, about your dreams to be a mother and about stability. Hopefully you won't need to look back on those writings, but I think they could help if you hit any turbulence during the nine months, or the year or so afterward. Best of luck with a bitty baby!!! . Motherhood is wonderful!
