I too suffer with an illness, bipolar disorder (mood disorder or otherwise known as manic depressive illness). I'm pg at the mo and I am off all meds. Apparently when pg, bipolar people tend to level out, so I hope that is true. I haven't really had any major probs which has been fantastic and I feel great.
I suffered with severe PND after my two daughters were born (before being diagnosed with bipolar) and was on antidepressants while breastfeeding. Apparently antidepressants are quite safe during pg and breastfeeding.
I do know the meds I was on weren't exactly safe, they can cause congenital heart defects. I did a lot of reading and research before I fell pg.
