That's my birth month also hahaha great job on talking obgyn its very important that you manage the WD properly as to much stress is not good for either of you make sure that you let the doc know about any changes that you feel as that could be very important and again stay hydrated and hit the vitamins there are tons of prenatal stuff out there best wishes.

Plz keep close contact with the DR. You do not want to go through a Bad w/d while PG. The baby will feel what you feel. Lots of anxiety and sleep issue are not good for you or the baby right now. Let the DR know what you are experiencing right now!!!

Make sure you drinks tons of fluids and mostly water. Get yourself some good vit/min too. Eat as healthy as you can. This way you can get those vit/min back in that we have lost while using.

What are you feeling right now??
Keep us updated.
Bless

Hi and welcome. The very first thing we tell everyone that comes on here pregnant is to go to your obgyn and tell him/her EVERYTHING. Don't stop/change any drug usage on your own. If you keep it to yourself, you will get found out when the baby is born and then you will have a serious problem. Also, everything you do your baby feels. Your doctor has heard it all before. Please go asap and do right by your baby. Good luck to you.
