Comply: Congratulations on you upcoming delivery. Let's hope you don't have syphilis; if you do, let's hope Junior isn't affected. At this point, await a certain diagnosis and accept treatment if there's any reasonable doubt. Get on with your life and do what you can to ensure things go well. If you need medication for temporary anxiety, ask your physician.
