> Hi Judy--
I've had 2 kids, and had to continue on AD med thru 1 pregnancy.
I know the equation is different for bipolar [which my daughter has]
but FWIW, I wanted to pass along some hope: although the first trimester
can be a bear, with nausea and moodiness etc, as the estrogen level climbs
I *believe* you'll feel rather well as far as depression goes.
The last couple of weeks are physically uncomfortable but basically you're
stoned on estrogen.
Might you or your pdoc or ob/gyn find Andrew Stoll's [of Harvard]book/research
on EFA supplementation of use? I don't believe that he mentioned anyone off
meds but perhaps there might be something helpful?And of course, please don't forget to enjoy being pregnant.
Any little tapping feet or fluttering limbs in your tummy??
Be well,
Liz
