Pregnancy with bipolar disorder

Hi everyone! I am currently 6 weeks and wondering if there is anyone else out there experiencing pregnancy with bipolar disorder.

I spoke to my psychiatrist before we started trying and told her I needed to be on medicine that would not cause first trimester heart defects (lithium does that).

So far, my hormonal mood swings just feel exactly like when my meds start wearing off. I wonder how non-bipolar mommies deal with it. I'm used to the rollercoaster of emotions, I ride that daily 😂

My question is, does anyone have any advice or insight for what to anticipate during pregnancy and postpartum? I would rather know now so I can be proactive in attempts to avoid cycling too quickly.

Thanks in advance 😊
