do you think it's ok to take valium during pregnancy ?

well, of course it's not ok to take valium during pregnancy, but it's nice to dream.

the little thing's at nursery for the morning and i have just got back from a swim - desperately trying to shake the cobwebs from a sleepless night. the thing was up four? five? i don't know how many times last night and the hubs and i were equally zapped this morning.

"and i have to go to work" he said.

oh, lucky man. doesn't he know that sentence has the same ring "i have to go to cannes for the mtv party" or "i have to spend this $1000 in barneys immediately" ?

so i'm left feeling like i could do with a little valium this morning. i'm not saying things are BAD, i'm just saying i'd like something to take the edge off. and when i've used the big V's in the past (only for purely recreational reasons, or uttterly necessary ones such as on long distant flights before baby) they've never let me down.

you do get that morning after craving thing, but nothing's perfect in life, is it?

we have a wedding to go to at the end of the week in devon - should be a classic english affair - church service, stately home reception and me in a chic big tummy dress with fab cream retro dancing shoes.

the little thing is not invited so we will have lots of time to drink booze (my one unit always goes down smoothly), flirt with strangers and dance to all the wedding classics.

so that's something to look forward to.

except the day we get back my mother in law is coming to stay for a week. oh god.

you know, now i really do wonder if it IS ok to take valium in pregnancy ...
