You were cut off....: I hope you tapered off and even better, did it w/ a Dr.'s help - but in any case, ask again careful to fit in the main question. Whatever it was - you can ask either your Dr or your OBGYN. Don't wait - there's two of you involved so be on top of things! Congratulations and consider psychotherapy for the anxiety (it's better anyway and safe) and to support you through the birth and post-partum!
