Second baby, bipolar & postpartum depression

I'm 9 weeks pregnant with my second baby. I'm helping a friend with daycare. And it's causing postpartum depression. It doesn't help that I have type 2 bipolar and I can't take my meds. I have no idea what to do.

I have a friend who had bipolar, she kicked it by exercising. She would get up early and take her dog for an hour walk. She said being away from everything and walking in nature helped her relax and not focus on herself and failures and she started making friends with people she saw regularly on the walks. After pregnancy she never went back on any meds and is been about 10 years
