Hi Erika

I am nervous too and feel for you. The exam in July will be my third, and passing will mean being certified for 20 years. 

Once again I am using the online preparation course that was really helpful 10 years ago. It costs approx $100 and is worth every cent. (Please email me privately for details)

I encourage you to 'fear forward'! and also include the following quote:

"You gain strength, courage and confidence 
by every experience in which you really
stop to look fear in the face. 
You must do the thing 
you think you cannot do."  (Eleanor Roosevelt)

PS:  I would love to be able to say that I pay my bills from my lactation work!

Kind Regards
Julieanne
