Pregnancy Info HOME

I don't know why an RN would tell you Xanax is okay during pregnancy. Some benzodiazepines are safer than others, but Xanax is a category D in my drug book. If you go to safefetus.com it will tell you about the drugs that are safe and are not and what they can do to the fetus while pregnant and if breastfeeding. It is true what 'first time mom' said. I see a high risk Perinatalogist and was taking meds for a month and a half before I found out and was scared to death that I had hurt my baby. I also had a CT and many x-rays done in that first month. I was told that if you were to have taken anything in the first two months that if it was going to hurt the baby, then your body would cause a miscarriage, and if there were no harm done, then most likely the pregnancy would be okay. He said it is all or nothing. I have heard this form several docs, I wanted a second, third, and fourth opinion. Try not to stress about it. If you do not miscarry, you will get a sonogram later on and will be able to see for yourself the development of your baby. They check all that stuff. Good luck to you and your baby.
