Bipolar is well common now, and I think you just gotta keep tabs on your MOODS. Check that the meds youre taking for it are ok for little uns. anyway, its a question for a proper doctor at any rate.

But being pregnant affects your mood anyway, so she'll need to pay very close attention. I wish her the best of luck... cheeky55 01-14-2010 @ 9:39 AM                           reply Member Joined: Jan 2010 Daisy - have you seen that theres a story line on Eastenders about this? Dont know if u watch it but Stacy Slater is one of the main characters and she's bipolar and pregnant. The BBC are gonna have to play this right and show genuine side effects or problems with the med situation. So it could actually be v INFORMATIVE to watch for your friend. Apparently the interest in bipolar shot up since they featured this storyline - which shows the power of tv right.
