no, i got worse when pregnant, i was not dx yet and not on meds. thats when it became obvious that i was more than just depressed

I was undiagnosed, but I used to say that my pg glow had flames coming out. No. Not a good time for me.

I was undiagnosed as well, but it was not a good time for me (husband seconds this statement).

I was pregnant in the early 80's. Wasn't diagnosed until 1995. whew saying that just hit me strangely, my kids were teens when I was diagnosed.. double whammy. Being pregnant caused me to have ups and downs fairly frequently. Not sure whether I even had BD then, whether I've had it all my life and that's why I made mistakes, or whether having a surgery that affected my chems and hormones brought it on. I think it was the latter.... but you could catch me saying different things sometiems since some of my behavior seemed so bipolar at different stages of my life. Anyhow, pregnancy wasn't free from symptoms but not sure it was BD or the run of the mill pregnancy related stuff.
Sorry if that didn't help.

never been pregnant, but the bipolar girl i met today (hehe) said that she got really bad depression when she was pregnant.

i LOVED being pregnant.. i felet pretty good most of the time even thos i was on bed restrictionafter i had the babies tho i went in a spiral..

I had the "nesting instinct" during my entire pregnancy. I loved it. Was the happiest I have ever been.

yes... I was undiagnosed but I stayed in a fairly stable hypomania. I enjoyed my pregnancy but I was on a form of self order bedrest. MY obgyn told me to take it easy and I did. I had my irritable times but not to many also my fibro calmed down drastically.... I have treatened my mom that I am going to get pregnant just to feel better for 9 months

I mothered a rat lol... and I lost a lot of weight so I felt good about my self... If I thought I could give the babies up after I was done carring them I would do seragacy totally.... I feel good while pregnant and loose so much weight in a healthy way. sigh yet I dont think I could give the babies up... maybe they would let me keep em until they start talking lol

Yeah, happened to me too...both times I was pregnant had no desire to drink and was the calmest I've ever been in my life. I kept saying, can't they just give me the hormones to make me feel like that again? But no, now hormones are dangerous.

I have heard of that, my sister is pregnant now & seems to be feeling better than she has in a long time. She is 2 months along & hasn't had any trouble, I really hope it continues. I wasn't so lucky.

low estrogen is linked with depression?

I was undx at the time too, but I loved being pregnant.

I am one that did wonderfully when pregnant. I was also ON meds at the time.
I was diagnosed 14 years at that time as well.
Morning sickness sucked for first 5 months though! :)

I loved being pregnant ate for 2 and ballooned but felt great then when my daughter was born a switch in my head flicked and the BD came back with avengence worse than ever before ended in hospital for 3 months without my daughter was the worst time in my life so far i decided there and then not to have anymore babies so got sterilized at 25 i knew i couldn't handle another baby heartbreaking choice but right looking back on it and now i have a happy healthy 12 year old daughter.
