Sorry I haven't been posting much. I haven't abandoned the blog. But you all know my situation and as it stands, it majorly sucks right now.
I'm currently wrestling with the idea of having a kid soon. My husband and I talked about it and we knocked all of our concerns down to the medication issue. I've been doing really well on the Lamictal, but there are warnings all over the prescription that say "Do not take while pregnant." My doctor's pretty much, "You need to outweight the benefits vs. the risks." He said there's a slightly increased chance of my kid developing a cleft palate but not much more than the average population. You know me - I need to do my research. I'd like to nurse my kid and I don't want it to nurse on Lamictal.
Anyway, any advice you want to throw my way would be appreciated. Thanks.
