Every woman, every pregnancy. and every baby are different. That's why I said you should talk to your doctor. What worked for one woman may be bad for you. Your doctor should work with you for your particular situation. If you come clean with your doctor, CPS should work with you too instead of hounding you.

You should really talk to your doctor about it. He or she knows a lot more about you and your pregnancy than we do. You should always be completely honest with your doctor.
