I hope to get pregnant at some point too, and i also worry about what will happen with my bipolar and stability. There are meds that are safe in pregnancy, i don't think lithium is safe, but there are other options. I'm less worried about taking meds, and more worried about what all the hormone shifts will do to my moods. I'm very hormone sensitive, with depressions around my period and when i stopped birth control pills it triggered a major episode. I don't know if i will actually get the chance to have a baby because i'm single and 37, but i still hope might happen. Where i live there is a specialized clinic for reproductive psychiatry that pcp's and regular pdocs can refer to, so i would probably go there. I wish i could adopt instead, but i will never pass the mental health screening, so i think adoption is impossible for me.
