Listen to you doctor regarding medications and their possible consequences.  It is very important that you do this.

 

You are faced with some very difficult decisions.

 

I wish you the very best.

I was born 26 years ago and my mother had to be hospitalized for the majority of the pregnancy.  She recieved shock therapy and that was it.  Hopefully treatment has advanced since then, but unfortunately it probably has not and your unborn baby probably wouldn't be as fortunate. 

 

If you are as with it as you claim to be, then maybe you would survive the nine months without medication.  If you would have trouble taking care of yourself and your children without medications, then perhaps you should focus on the family that you already have and get married before you explore these options.

 

I really do wish you the best and hope that you make good decisions.
