Episode description

On this week's episode of Motherhood Confessions, we chat with one of our listeners who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at the age of 16. 

She shares the challenges of planning a pregnancy with the added complexity of needing to go off mediation, and how her experience of pregnancy and early parenting has been while juggling postnatal hormones and bipolar disorder.
