Just my own personal experiences going through a pregnancy and breastfeeding while taking lithium carbonate for bipolar disorder.

Thankyou for sharing your experiences, you're the first person who's explained the difficulties of breastfeeding and bipolar/lithium. Thankyou!

Thank you for this. Been on lithium since I was 18 and I’m more hopeful I can have kids

The hospital was so unhelpful I was suicidal and they wouldn’t let me take lithium

That's horrible. Yes I hear a lot of bad things like this. Lithium is unfairly maligned.

Do you mind if I ask how much lithium you took during pregnancy and breastfeeding ?

[@lizokitten2]

Hi! Yes I should have included that in the video. 900mg / day
