13 weeks and Counting!

   I knew going into this pregnancy that it wouldn't be easy. It's been nearly 10 years since I've been pregnant and with the fibro and bipolar disorder, things would be very different than my first. I was diagnosed with depression when I had T. Then I had horrible postpartum depression. None of the medication I was on seemed to help.
   This has been tough. My OB doesn't want me on any of my medications unless "absolutely necessary". So I'm off my Lyrica, Mobic, Gabapentin, Clonazepam, some of my supplements, and my psychiatrist is weaning me off my Cymbalta.
   Physically I'm starting to feel more pain. Mentally I'm having frequent panic attacks. But all in all, I'm so excited that the baby is healthy that it's all worth it. :)
   I'll have to update more often. Our A/C broke on a day when our high was 116. We stayed at my in-law's home until it got fixed today. Now I'm just worn out and wanting to veg.
