Q: Newbie In Wi Considering Pregnancy With Bp

Hi, my name is jessica and i'm 25 y/o. I was diagnosed w/ bipolar this past october about 3 days after returning from my honeymoon. My husband and I had previously discussed trying to get pregnant after a year. Then I found out about my bp and went on lamictal. I am seriously concerned about getting pregnant on medication. I don't like the risks of defects to an unborn child.

I have thought about going off meds during pregnancy, but I don't know what that would do, I know it's a risk too. But i've also heard that there is a possibility that being pregnant with bp can also even you out so to speak.

I am not sure what to do.... And any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
