Valium during TTC and Pregnancy

[BaileyKitten]

HI,

I will be switching my medication in 2 weeks to valium from Lorazepam as I am trying ti withdraw from meds. I have held off TTC for quite a few months because of my issue with medication and pregnancy, but at this rate I feel It may take me some time to be medication free.

Just wondering if anyone has any personal experience of being on valium during pregnancy and if your baby is healthy and happy??

I was on Valium and Zoloft before I became pregnant. As soon as pregnancy was confirmed I stopped both these meds. I've struggled quite a bit since with both panic attacks and depression and the doc said Zoloft is fine to go back on, but not Valium. Apparently it's very much not recommended for pregnancy due to possible fetal abnormalities.

Good luck with trying to be drug-free and TTC .
