Relapse in pregnancy is common with Bipolar Disorder. Unfortunately, there is no completely safe mood stabilizer during pregnancy. Prophylactic mood stabilizer should be continued for at least 2 years. If she is post partum with depressive symptoms, Olanzapine + Fluoxetine combination is a good choice to continue.
