Hi all

I've been officially diagnosed with BP disorder....

any tips?

Ps - I got asked today 'are you taking your medication' my answer 'of course I am!!!!' the response --- change of tone.

*venting* Why do people ask you if your ok then are not prepared for the answer. Sometimes I think I'm better off lying just to make people happy.

Cheers 🙂 keeping positive xo

Hi BB community

Doing really well and happy Australia Day!

I would love love to hear from the community and get people's views on drugs and babies.

In particular people with the label of bi-pola (whatever number) how did you have a baby if you were taking medication and if you want to share how do these doses work? Eg what level is acceptable in your body.

Im also intrested in any natural ways or methods people did / are doing whilst on the western medication?

Kind regards

Yoga

Dear Yoga has changed my life~

I apologize if you have already considered this:

has some of information on BP & pregnancy (just search for 'pregnancy' in their internal search engine).

I hope this helps

On reflection, rather than leaving you to fend for yourself I'd strongly suggest you ask Dr Kim about this, bearing in mind it may affect the health of a child as well as yourself.
