I say stay on the dose you are on now and only reduce it at 12 weeks. Seems to me that having to make the decision is causing you stress, but reducing the dose and following your ob's instructions is also going to cause stress. Your ob may be the specialist in pregnancy and delivering babies, but YOU are the expert on your body and sometimes you've just gotta do what you've gotta do and trust your instincts... even if it means not exactly following your doctor's instructions to the letter.

Hang in there... and congratulations on your pregnancy, too!
