Honestly, there is no way I can predict how he will react to something like that. I can really relate to you, because my husband has bipolar disorder. He went untreated and unmedicated for a very long time, until it got to the point where our relationship was going to end because of it. He has been on depakote and celexa for about a year and a half now, and it has made all the difference in the world. His emotions are so much better controlled now. I am 22 weeks pregnant and he cannot wait until we have our little daughter. However, in your situation, his reaction to your being pregnant is unpredictable. I would sit him down and tell him calmly, but let him know you're excited about it. Give it a few moments to sink in, and listen to what he says. If he reacts negatively, give him a little while to cool off and try talking to him again. It would also be a good time to let him know that you're concerned and he should get to a doctor, because now that you have a child on the way, it's that much more important that he gets his disorder under control. I hope this helps, and good luck!

Hopefully this will be his ticket to go and seek help. He's going to be a father and needs to step up to the plate. If I were you, I'd give him the choice of going for meds and help, or visitation rights afterwards........There is no way I'd stay with someone (bipolar) not taking their meds to at least try to stay sane. Not with a baby around. I have lived with bipolar in my family and its like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde..Not healthy for you or the baby.......
