Pregnancy and childbirth are two very challenging yet rewarding areas of anyone's life. Having bipolar disorder doesn't change that. Having bipolar disorder or having a family history of mental illness does not mean that someone should not or cannot have children. No one would tell someone with a family history of heart disease or diabetes that they cannot or should not have children. No one is genetically perfect. With that being said, I was raised by a parent with bipolar disorder. Also, I am raising children while personally facing the challenges and rewards of having bipolar disorder.

In this easy to listen to book, we will go through life being pregnant with bipolar disorder. Each chapter will include real life examples and solutions to the issues we face. I am not only a parent with bipolar disorder, but I also have a master's degree in psychology. We can not only survive pregnancy and parenting with bipolar disorder but we can thrive! Whether you are a parent, future parent, spouse, friend, or medical professional, you will find knowledge and pleasure in this book. Let's go!
