Q: Bipolar - Pregnant - Have My Meds Already Hurt the Baby ?

I just found out tonight that I'm pregnant. This was not a planned pregnancy - a total suprise. Actually, more like a shock. I have a long history of Endometriosis issues, including surgeries, not to mention a handful of other fertility issues. Basically, several doctors have told me in no uncertain terms that it would take "procedures, hormonal treatments, meds....." to even maybe possibly conceive. On top of that, I'm 37. So, I decided a few years ago that I was okay with not having kids, as I didn't want to go the "fertility' route.

So, here I am, God and me, making a baby.

I'm approximately 4 weeks, and I'm worried that my meds might have cause irreparable damage! I'm taking 400mg Seroquel, 300mg Zonegran, and 30mg Adderall. Has anyone safely taken any of these meds while pregnant? I'm calling my Dr. first thing tomorrow morning, but I'm crazy with worry that the harm is already done. Unfortunately, I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT SLEEP without Seroquel. I think I'm going to reduce the dosage for tonight, and see how it goes. I'll feel much better about this once I talk to my Dr.

Oh yeah, My mood swings have been OFF THE CHARTS! last weekend I was wondering why I felt like I was losing my mind....so now I know. I've been very fortunate, my BP has been very stable for the last 4 years (since I was diagnosed) I guess I need to prepare myself for one hell of a rollercoaster ride!
