I have heard that many people go off there meds during pregnancy. Things that are not natural are not needed durring pregnancy. Your body takes care of it's self. After delivery the need for meds often come right back like you were never off of them. This is Gods way of giving the body the ability to protect it's self so the baby is protected.

The last few months are nerve wrecking. You can't sleep, you can't breathe right, you can't get comfortable, every little thing annoys you. Chasing after a for year old makes things that much more tiresome and annoying. Just hang in a few more weeks. There may be meds that are availiable those last few months that want cross to the baby. You may be using something like that anyway if you plan on nursing.

Do be carefull for postpartum depression. It is very real and very strong. Don't play around with it. The dr's gave me zoloft of that. I was worried it would pas to the baby. They assured me that only trace amounts if any would make it to the baby threw milk. I didn't see any changes in the baby except my anxiety level changed so the baby was more calm. Or maybe I just dealt better. Best of luck to you and this new little life.
