Pregnant and bipolar

Josephine

With my first pregnancy I took minimal meds and coped just fine with my bipolar. Fast forward 8 years to this pregnancy and its the total opposite! Despite being on mediocre meds my mood swings are out of control and my anxiety is through the roof! I have my high risk team, my therapist and meds but i am triggered easily and it really affects my family, especially my 8 year old girl who asks sometimes “why are you so mean?” I just feel miserable and yet irritated i dont know what to do. I want to enjoy this pregnancy but most of the time im just praying for it to hurry up so i can go back on my pre pregnancy medicine regime. I just wonder if theres other women experiencing something like this. Thanks
