Hi JenniferM, I particularly like the sentence, “if you choose to get pregnant, be sure to have a comprehensive plan in place to address prevention, treatment and recovery.”

If you haven't read it yet, there's a great guide on pregnancy, bipolar & childbirth here:

There's also a 'Pregnancy & Bipolar' podcast here (click the Download icon): rcpsych.ac.uk/press/podcast...

Thanks for sharing :)
