I just started abilify yesterday...last night I was up and down all night...just couldn't get to sleep...I didn't feel like I was manic though...

hopefully things will settle down soon for you.

I hate to tell you but I wasn't dx when I had my children....my boys are teenagers and a young adult. However, the mood swings during my pregnancy we horrible, even then my husband and I knew that my mood swings were abnormal for a normal person...but we just accepted them and tried to move on.

During my 3rd pregnancy I spent the entire time in a depression...it was a rough 9 months.

I know that there are people out there who do have babies that are dx...I hope you will be one of them

wondering if you talked to your dr (gyno) about your dx. there are verry few meds that you can take while your preg. sorry but its a new era so ask your dr and see what he/she says. i found out i was depressed right after i had my first baby. was in a funk for about a year. i was a stay at home mom and that didn't help either. good luck keep us podted. congrats on the preg.
