Valleygirl, I want to congratulate you! I know it must have been a rough road. Jumping off Sub is hard enough and jumping off at 2 mg…..OUCH! I did have a baby on Sub, because I was told clearly to not jump off, but that was back in ’07. My baby was healthy. However, the whole entire pregnancy, I was stressing and waiting for that scary day when I’d find out if my baby would be in w/d and suffering in a way that I knew would break my heart. It was torture. So, I’m elated knowing that you now don’t have to go through this mental anguish. We beat ourselves up enough as mothers, and adding a med with a bunch of unknowns makes it harder, no matter how much you tell yourself that you are doing what you have to do. Once this passes, you can simply enjoy the rest of your pregnancy. YAY!!!
I suggest that you take walks but keep it nice and slow and comfortable. Not talking about speed walking here and you don’t want to overstress your legs. Of course, if the doc says this is out, then it’s out. Also, if you can, try meditating. Just sit down in a comfortable position and do deep breathing, because I’ve noticed this actually does help quite a bit for the anxiety.
Best of luck to you, sweetie. Three kids is a lot more than two, lol!! I’ve got three myself. Hey, but it’s so fun. You have millions of sweet and happy memories to make ahead of you. I get chills thinking of that day when you get to first meet that little person. 
And your older two will get to come and fight over who gets to hold the baby first/next/etc. Awe, it’s just gonna be totally adorable, so adorable that it will probably make you cry, lol, and you will get to enjoy all those memories without worrying about your baby having NAS.
Another big congratulations!!!!!
