I have just been to see my doc this week at MMH and it turn's out I have to come off my med's before the birth one this is kinda hard to plan as of course she could come early. So has of now I am on half the dose I have been on and then it will go down again till I am off completly thsi is so baby does not get withdrawal I am totally fine with that however I have been soing so well on these med's I am so scared what might happen not on them leading up to the birth. She was really good and want's to see me with a week after baby to get me straight back on them (will even come see me at home if I not up to getting out of house as I having homebirth ).
So has anyone ellse had to do this and what did you do to help lesson the blow I am most worried about my poor DH and boy's they seem to get teh worst of my mood's. ------------- Deborah Mum to:

Deb, I am coming off my meds at the moment. I was told by somebody that it can take a full 6 months to be fully right after taking them. I have been2 months now off them and I stil have my odd bad days but mostly good days. Once Emma has had Chiara ask her how she went. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

That's interesting to know it can take up to 6 months to come right 
How stressful. I hope it goes ok for you. One positive is at least your doc sounds on top of it and is monitoring you. -------------
