Bipolar and pregnant

I am bipolar and 6 months pregnant I have reduced my meds but I still take effexor and seroquel. I am worried every day about the effects these meds are having on my baby does anyone out there have any advise or any information about the effects of seroquel and effexor on the unborn fetus and what about when the baby is born does he go through a withdrawl (withdrawal)? any information would really be appreciated.

Sorry, I can't help you on this, I stopped my antidepressants to get pregnant and have never had to take anything for the mania.  Just wanted to let you know I will be praying for you and your baby.  Congratulations!!!!

I am also Bipolar and had my second while on meds. My daughter now 31/2 thank g-d has no problems. If the doctor is allowing you to be on this medication, trust him/her. They do know best!

Thank you for responding. I am happy to here your daughter is doing well. It gives me some comfort knowing that my baby may not be effected by my medications. Thank you again.
