I’m bipolar as well. And I was told that you can take them if u need them. I am prescribed a medicine for my bipolar I was okayed to take them by my med doc as well as my midwife. I choose not to take them though to my own reasons. You and your med doc just have to go through the list of different prescriptions and see what they are classified as. And as I was told it is better to take a medicine to keep yourself control during pregnancy if you really need it. If I get to the point I need my medicine I am going back on it
