I took lamictal while pregnant with my second. I had postpartum depression/anxiety after my first which resulted in my eventual bipolar II diagnosis. Lamictal is a "safer" med to take while pregnant/breastfeeding, it has a longer track record for safety research because it has been used in women with epilepsy for a reasonably "long" time compared to some of the other bipolar meds.
