I took Lamictal and Abilify early in my last pregnancy and added Lithium late in my second trimester because I was very unwell. While I am aware it was ultimately my decision, I had been so sick just before my pregnancy that my doctor's didn't give me much of a choice.

With my first two babies and with the one I lost (12 weeks), I did not believe I was bipolar and therefore did not take meds. With those pregnancies, I was extrememly overly emotional with my first, fine with my second, and out of my mind manic with the one I lost (but I was very manic even before I was pregnant...I believed God had told me this child would be a chosen one so I was very lost and confused when I miscarried).
