jess, if we use a substance to create a feeling or get rid of a feeling it's a warning sign of dependancy. having said that, i'd discuss your situation with your therapist first, before the doc. i know some will disagree but i don't think you posted here just for us to say it's ok or it's bad of you. you posted i believe because it troubles you..this useage....for your welfare as well as for your baby's sake. i wish you well and hopefully you will get help for yourself and to protect your baby's health. no moral benders here from me...if one chooses to use that's one thing...but your baby is not being given a choice here. that's how i see it, imho.
