Have you considered high dose Omega-3 fatty acids? One site that discusses the Harvard study led by Andrew Stoll is at: http://www.omegabrite.com/tstudy4.asp
They also sell fish oil at that site (be forewarned). I have purchased from them, as their's is more concentrated than what I've found elsewhere and they claim that it is processed so as to be pure. Purity would be an important consideration, especially during pregnancy. Unfortunately, it didn't make me well. The consultation phone number at the Harvard Bipolar Research Unit is (617)724-0833. They might have more of an idea of whether it would be a good idea to take high doses during pregnancy.Post-partum depression is horrible. It's an experience I will never forget. I'll be thinking about you and praying for you as you try to prevent it.
Blessings,
