anyone who has bipolar disorder?

I was diagnosed bipolar about 2 yeras ago im 22 yrs old and im pregnant with my first baby. Im 12 weeks pregnant and im scared about the medication i was taking. When i found out i was pregnant i went to the clinic i had been going to to see the psychiatrist that day they told me that they were going to change my doctor so i told the new doctor that i could keep on taking tge seroquel just to stop taking the zoloft and buspare. My OB sent me again to the psychiatrists to check up on ow the medication was having effects on my mood swings and again at this clinic they change me back to my old doctor he scared me si much because he started saying i was not suppost to take anything and to stop completely. I was in the hospital about a month ago because i was not sleeping and throwing up even the water i drank and i told the ER doctors there that i was on seroquel and they also told me.it was ok to drink it. Im so cobfused im at the OB doctor right now i pray everything is ok with the baby. If someone has any suggestions please write

My sister is bipolar and just had a baby and was taking meds for it and they told her she could continue but she chose not to and didn't take any the last two trimesters of her pregnancy because it made her nervous.

Im bi polar but I have the worst form. My ob asked me if I was taking meds when I went in an found out I was pregnant I told her no I had stopped she asked if I felt like I needed to be back on any meds and I told her NO I felt it was important to be med free during my pregnancy she did tell me if I felt I couldn't handle it to inform her and they would put me on stuff. But the actual meds I took are strongest possible and those ones are NOT allowed while pregnant but im not going to have someone switch my meds multiple times will being pregnant. Im toughing it out and dealing with my condition and ill be 27 weeks tomorrow good luck hun
