Answer
I had a stillborn in April of 2012. I'm so sorry for your loss. My baby died of a cord accident (so they think) at 41 weeks with no warning in a low-risk pregnancy. First came numbness, feeling a little better and functional, then two months later every joint in my body began hurting, which brought depression and severe anxiety. I know how paralyzing it can be.
First, see a doctor and a therapist. If you're having depression that arises from a situation, there are drugs you can take in the short term to calm you down, though your doctor will monitor your levels to make sure you're not taking more than is wise. Ativan is a drug that was recommended to me, and it calmed me within 10 minutes when a panic attack would arise. It made me sleepier, but it didn't inhibit my ability to function.
The hazy thinking can be from depression. I'm not pushing anti-depressants, and I don't recommend them to just anyone, but if you're not functioning due to what's happened to you, then you're the person for whom these drugs were invented. It helped me a lot. It got me out of crying hysterically all day and feeling like life was pointless-- to realizing that there is still hope, and though it hurts, life moves on. Your doctor might put you on something like Celexa or Zoloft.
But I'm preaching to the choir if you're a pharmacy tech, I guess. All I know is that the drugs have helped. It's been five and a half months since my daughter died, and I'm now slowly tapering off my anti-depressants, and I very rarely need an Ativan anymore. The mental clarity since beginning the anti-depressant was pretty noticeable. It was like a fog lifted after a few weeks. Maybe that will help you on the job?
Best wishes to you. I'm so very sorry.

my due date is december21,2012 this is my first i went to the doctors and im half a cenemeter dialated and my friend said to try castor oil and it workd for her ?has it workd for anyone else
Answer
Yes my sister and your friend is a whack-a-doodle to put it kindly for even suggesting you drink that poison.
At 38 weeks my sister took this - it gave her extremely violent contractions - it put my niece in fetal distress which caused her to pass meconium prior to delivery
She spent 8 days in the NICU - 4 of those we didn't think she was going to make it through the night!
If this is what you want for your new baby?
"The authors of the review conclude:
Castor oil does appear to stimulate uterine activity although the mechanism remains unclear. No healthcare professional would consider administering an unknown quantity of prostaglandins or not monitoring mother or fetus after attempting to stimulate labour. Yet this is.. what occurs when women are advised to take castor oil. Uncontrolled uterine activity can occur... Hyperstimulation can lead to fetal distress and the passage of meconium which increases the risk of intervention"
