Benzodiazepines every day

Hello, I found out I was pregnant about 3 weeks ago, and I am only about 7 weeks along. However right before I found out, I had been taking oxazepam and ativan sporadically. I stopped immediately after getting the positive pregnancy test, but I am worried that those 5 or 6 times I took it during the first weeks of the baby's life have done some kind of irreperable damage. Does anyone know if I should be very worried? I am not able to get into the doctor for a few weeks, and this is eating me up.

Did you find this post helpful?
