David Haggerty dives into the research, and the lack of research, in the medical community with Bipolar Pregnant Women. We take the People Magazine article and go beyond the headline, discussing what a "Relapse" is, how I came to the decision of not staying on medication, and why it is so important for both us of to raise the question as to why we deserve to know more from the medical community. David not only is a neuroscientist who has done the research, he also lives with Bipolar disorder. It has meant the world to me to have him by my side in every step of my bipolar and pregnant journey.

Over the weekend, the beloved and brilliant Dr Jay Goldberg left this planet. He touched so many pregnant women's lives and brought so many babies into this world. I was so lucky to have known him, even for a short while, as my baby's OBGYN. I wanted to share a few stories as to why this human touched so many. I will forever be grateful that he was the first person to introduce me to my baby. Thank you for being a friend Dr Jay Goldberg.In his honor, please consider donating to The Jay Goldberg OBGYN Resident Education Fund: they provide funds to name the resident education chief each year and support resident education programs.
