She also told me she's had patients who have had babies on abilify and they turned out fine but that again it was a limited data set. All in all I think its a good thing----I can just stay on the med I'm stable with and that's the best I can do. Also I told her if I'm bipolar I must have the lowest number of meds etc, she said that's another reason not to change anything.

That's pretty much what I was told. I don't think it's worth the risk to the baby. I don't think it's fair to put that risk on a child or to have them go through withdrawals or suffer possible mutations. It's just not right.
