Question
my sister has bipolar and she is pregnant is there any pregnancy safe medication for her to take? please help
Hi Ashley: There are dangers with any medication during a pregnancy. What your sister needs to do is talk with her doctor. The doctor can help her weigh the effects of different medications and help decide which is best in her particular case. I'm afraid this is a decision your sister and her doctor need to make together.

I can answer questions dealing with bipolar disorder in a parent, yourself or your child. I can give suggestions and insight into what can be expected of many medications for bipolar disorder. My most extensive knowledge is in children with bipolar disorder. Here I can give advice on dealing with daily events, schools, medication and professionals.
Experience
I am the daughter of a bipolar/schizophrenic parent, am bipolar myself and am raising a bipolar child. I have a background in Psychology from Gannon University, have run several parenting classes for those parenting bipolar children and have had extensive experience with medications, the school system, homeschooling a special needs child, dealing with counselors, doctors and other professionals in the mental health field. I write for a bipolar website, with the focus on educating the child with bipolar disorder on his/her illness.
