Discovery Health has a new series starting on December 1st. It's called I'm Pregnant And...
The first two episodes they're documenting women that are pregnant and addicted (doesn't say what they're addicted to) and pregnant and homeless.
But, the reason I'm posting this is because later on in the series they will be document women (or woman, not sure how many) who are Pregnant And Bipolar. I am very much looking forward to this episode and I wish we had DV-R so I can watch it over and over! But, I will let you all know when it airs and if it goes on Hulu.

2nd Cycle
So I'm in my second cycle of trying to conceive (TTC). I am on cycle day (CD) 13. I haven't started using the Ovulation Predictor Kit (OPK) yet because last cycle I didn't O (Ovulate) until CD 21. So I will start taking them on CD 15.
Currently, I am reading a book called Understanding Your Moods When You're Expecting: Emotions, Mental Health, and Happiness-Before, During and After Pregnancy by Lucy, J. Puryear, M.D. It is by a woman who is a psychiatrist that specializes in pregnancy and mental illness, postpartum mood disorders, depression during perimenpause and severe premenstrual syndrome. Quite frankly, I wish there were a woman psychiatrist that specialized in pregnancy and mental health somewhere close to me that I could see during pregnancy and even right now instead of just a plain ol' psychiatrist. :/ (Plus, it's a male psychiatrist who didn't listen to me when I was in the hospital after being Diagnosed).
And, I have some good news! There was a woman advertising that the first 2 couples to sign up for Doula care from her would get the services free! So even though we're not pregnant yet, we're going to get FREE Birth Doula Services and Free Postpartum Doula services! Yay! The only thing I was worried about was how many people my hospital would allow for us to have in the room during delivery. I called to find out and at any given time during the year, I will be allowed to have a max of 4 people. But, I only want 3--my husband, my sister and my Doula. I don't want to give her website because that can show where I live. But, if you are interested in a great Doula, email me and I will tell you where she's located and give you her website link.
