You probably won't get an answer in this forum, bipolar. You need to go a forum on pregnancy.

I was told that my baby unbilical cord had grown at the edge of the sack. It has me worried. The doctor told me that we would keep a eye on the baby weight, and development. But going some reading one woman said she lost her baby. Has anyone else have this happen?

A psychiatrist will ask you some questions and assess from there, Psychiatrists use a book called DSM-4 to help them assess what symptoms fit to bipolar or any other mental illness.

Hope this is helps

My husband's psychiatrist did the initial consultation and than sent us to a social worker that specialized in diagnosing bipolar.  It depends on the doctor's specialty.  But you need to start with a psychiatrist to start.
