I'm taking a flight on Thursday and I usually either take a Xanax or have a drink or two before boarding. (I have been known to go to the airport and not board a plane due to anxiety!)

In truth, I probably don't need either one of these remedies. I asked my Doctor what she thought about the Xanax and she advised me against taking it. It wasn't a totally fearful NO NOT EVER, but she thinks it's a better idea to avoid it.

I wonder what you guys thing (I know you aren't doctors, so this is a very informal poll). Which do you think is "safer", or which would you be more comfortable doing - a small glass of wine or a half of a Xanax while pregnant?

I'm hoping that I can go without, but I think that if I have a back-up plan ready to go in case things get hairy, then I'll be even less likely to feel anxious.

Thanks for your input!
