Happy 2009!!!!
Hello to all my friends and Happy New Year!!!
To start, I would like to share some wonderful news, I am expecting my third child in August 
The kids know and are thrilled… I am going to start sharing my experiences both being pregnant with bipolar and pregnant with fibro. I can tell you for starters it has not been easy dropping all my meds, I am also experiencing more sickness with this one than my other two, but I am dealing with it and know it will be worth it in the end. I have not gone to the doctor yet, the meds I dropped I did by speaking with my primary care doc, but I am hoping they will at least let me have an antidepressant. I don’t want to hurt the baby, but I am constantly in tears and trying to cope. Either way I will make it through its just hard now, anyone with advice it would be appreciated! I see an OB this month, I will keep you all posted.
The fibro pain is also posing a challenge. Any advice from someone who has been here would be great. I had previously heard that you go into remission, however I have yet to see that lol. I am counting down to August, I know once the morning sickness subsides I will feel better.
I am currently working on a new video and should have it ready some time this month. I am excited not only about the pregnancy, but also about the chance to share this experience with others and let people know what I go through, maybe help others with bipolar and fibro get through thier pregnancies. I will share any tips I find helpful and if anyone has any to share please comment, this is a tough time for any woman but more so for women with illnesses, I am hoping that sharing what we go through will be of help to others in similar situations.
Take care all and best wishes for 2009! I will keep posting so keep checking back!

Congratulations! I wish you the best of luck!
I know it can be tough but I’m sure you’ll pull through it and have a wonderful child at the end of it all!

hi, I am 31 years old and I had bulimia and anorexia, right now I have anorexia, now they are telling me I may have bipolar disorder, I am sick of all this…. I don´t have all the criterias of DSM IV about anorexia or bipolar , but I weight 41kg )by the way I am from Costa Rica in case you are wondering why I wrote on kg , I do not know it on pds, sorry,
anyway,I do not have the criterias of anorexia but I only eat 300 cal per day, so duhhhh, I know I have it, since I had it for 15 years, but on bipolar I am not sure…. I am suicidal, that is true, I am depress, I am agressive, talk fast, want to do so much on a so less time, but then I quit, get depress, but this happen to me everyday, not on cycles, so I do not know if this is consider bipolar , or if my doctor is just stupid!!! hahaha, please guide here…THX!
Hello,
I just came across your videos on youtube today. I wish I’d found them earlier as I have a 2 year old son and fibromyalgia. I may have had it since 1999 or definately in 2006 as soon as I got pregnant. I was exhausted throughout the whole pregnancy! I have hyperemesis (puked from the first day of the pregnancy all the way to the delivery room with the exception of a 2 1/2 week period in the middle somewhere)! The pain was virtually unbearable, especially the delivery! I was in labour for 24 hours and crying and screaming and begging my fiancee to kill me…the scary part was that at the time I meant it! Hopefully things go much better for you! Take care!
Love and blessings,
Christine
