Hi everyone,
really want to plan baby number two however am a bit cautious being on new medication this time around. Have been on antidepressants for years but in the past 12 months my GP has changed it to include a very mild dose of bi-polar medication to help,augment my current dosage.
are there any mums out there who have been pregnant while on these types of drugs? I am just the looking for your experience and if Bub had any withdrawals or problems. I am super scared to go any further with planning as I have read it can cause breathing difficulties. I understand there is always a risk with medication passing the placenta however I am also really scared to try and come off the medication as I have had difficulties in the past.
thanks in advance.

I hope your doctor does not reduce the meds too fast.
If they say more than a 10% drop at a time - question it.
