Pregnancy and Depression/Mental Illness

I'm wondering if anyone here has any experience with lithium during pregnancy?  I know it is not recommended but sometimes necessary for the mother's mental health. Thanks =)

I have not had experience with lithium nor with bipolar disorder during pregnancy but I want to refer you to this blog:

http://www.mybipolarpregnancy.com/

I have not read it thoroughly but it seems like a good place for you (and maybe even me) to learn about bipolar disorder and pregnancy from the point of view of a mom who's been there.

Please take care and if you find any great resources on your journey, I'd love it if you'd share them here!

Warmest,
Lauren
