Teppy? Why can't you drive on Ativan? What is your dosage? Does it just hit you too hard, or is it doctor's orders? I was cautioned about driving while taking Ativan, until I knew how it hit me, but once I realized how it hit me, I drove (with doctor's consent) on my 0.5mg dosage.
Cindy! Your pixels do my heart so much good. Truly.
I'm on 0.5 mg, and it affects me kind of unevenly. Like, I'm fine and just mellow for a couple of hours, and *then* I feel kind of...not hallucinations; more like my visual perspective is distorted. I didn't want to drive like that (on top of maybe 5 hours sleep the night before; I was afraid the Ativan would hit me like an anvil).
Also, I'm really sorry for all your travels. I know how draining that could be.
They were super close together, but neither of those trips were things I had any control over. I would have sacrificed a kidney before I'd miss my brother's graduation, and the work trip was important, too. Just bad timing.
I've missed you, Cindy. How are you?
Thanks, Cindy. That means a lot. I think most of my issues are boiling down to my anxiety too. I could handle everything else a lot better if I weren't so damn anxious. ltc is due August 17th, but I am having a csection which will likely be scheduled the week before. Also have I mentioned that. Every time someone tells me I am doing a good job I cry? I want to believe them.

You're making a person! That = good job. I mean, damn. A whole new person!
I feel so sorry for Duchess Kate, her pregnancies have been so hard on her, and that's her primary job! Yeah, she loves the man (I hope, Will's mother was not well-informed of what was going to happen) which she'd have to, to sign up for the position, but she's got the continuation of a millennia-old tradition on her womb. I hope she's done, with one-and-a-spare. Let Harry find someone that makes him happy and fill out the rest of the bench.

You are! Does your OB/GYN offer any kind of concurrent counselling? I would think that's something offered to parents-to-be all over.
For me, I absolutely cannot drive on Ativan. Even if I'm fully rested and "okay", I'm just too mellow, dude. (Also, hi Cindy!)
No, I have to find my own therapist which so far has been ridiculously hard. Also, I miss Ativan. I haven't taken it since I started trying to get pregnant several years ago. I definitely can't drive on it; usually I need to nap after taking it.

Oh, that is awful and extra stress you do not need. I'm sorry.
Like I said, Mom always hated the pall she always brought to Birth Chat Story Time, being like Buffy, she (almost) died twice.She usually has to make the pregnant lady feel better, instead of the Elder Stateswoman of the tribe vibe they're looking for.(also, from what you've heard about my mom, if she were calling you pregnant, and she was like "um, there's blood..." wouldn't you COME RIGHT HOME. He almost killed her and my brother and made me the poor crippled girl that never wore the right clothes, all for a Midnight Madness sale on men's t-shirts. I wish I could tell you that got better, but, like, not so you'd notice.)
Cindy!!! Hi,smartiepants! We miss you!
