Bi Polar and pregnant

[jr885150]

I was diagnosed bi polar a couple years ago. I took my Meds (seroquil and celexa) everyday and did therapy regularly. When I found out I was pregnant the Drs took me off all my Meds because of potential birth defects. Now I'm so moody, depressed, crying a lot, and just feeling deflated. I was wondering if this is because of the pregnancy or am I having my symptoms return? Anyone else Going through the same thing?

I was on seroquel before i got pregnant. I fortunatly learned to semi control ny depression/anxiety while i was pg it takes time but it is possible.

They say your bipolar could become worse better or stay te same while pregnant.

My first pregnancy mine got worse x100 and ended in a loss.

With my son it stayed about the same I learned to control it an notice the triggers and get myself to a quiet place to re collect... Also it helped that my husband and everyone else could recognize it and step back and let me regroup

I used to b on seroquel and abilify waaay before I was pregnant. I was always terrified of having symptoms while pregnant and not being able to do anything about it. I definitely think I have a heightened sense of emotion because of it tho. You will b OK! I got thru my first one fine and am on my second one. You can inbox me anytime you are feeling down or anxious. Stay strong and positive for the peanut. Keep busy.
