They don't study drugs effects on human fetus so all catagory C means is that it is unknow.
I wouldn't take AD's wile exspecting unless your emotional condition became so bad that your emotional state became a greater risk then the drugs.
I'd be less concerned about the use of low dose benzo's then other drug classes. I feel this way because of what we know about children born to addicts and what is unknown about AD's effects on same.
You may find that you will not be needing any meds wile prego, many feel extremely stable wile carring a child.
Getting off drugs now is smart because yhe most damage to the fetus happens in the first part of the first trimester.
My son had a birth defect and I was put on meds in my second trimester due to my emotional condition. I don't know and will never know if the drug was responcible.
