Does anyone have any resources (books, podcasts, etc.) about having BPD while pregnant/raising children? Or any resources that they found particularly helpful?

I’m not planning on trying to conceive for another couple of years, but am actively thinking about how pregnancy and the early stages of child rearing will affect me. I’m planning on going through DBT skills again in the 6 months leading up to trying for a baby since I’ll have to get off of my meds and worry about a resurgence of some symptoms along with normal mood swings from hormones.

As it currently stands, my BPD is largely under control. I graduated from skills group nearly 5 years ago and take a mood stabilizer. There have been some ups and downs requiring me to return to therapy and I was recently prescribed another medication that I may or may not start taking (psychiatrist is leaving it up to me, which I appreciate), but overwhelmingly I manage my symptoms effectively when they pop up and have great interpersonal relationships with many people.
