    The use of benzodiazepines in pregnancy on their own is not associated with any increase in the risk of abnormalities in your baby.


    Benzodiazepines can pass through the placenta to your baby. If you are taking more than a prescribed dose of benzodiazepines, it is possible that your baby will be lethargic and quite floppy when delivered. This effect will wear off over a day or two. Some babies will experience symptoms of withdrawal over the next several days. These symptoms can include excessive irritability and poor feeding. Withdrawal appears to be a problem if you are taking other drugs in addition to benzodiazepines. Sometimes the withdrawal is severe enough to require medication to settle your baby.
