Anyone used Diazepam during pregnancy?

I’m on therapy with Diazepam. I have certain problem with sleeping. I think it help me. But I want to ask somebody can I use this drug if I’m pregnant. Well, I’m not pregnant but I would like to be. So, tell me, please, Anyone used Diazepam during pregnancy? Thanks!

No, Diazepam is very dangerous drug in pregnancy. It’s in the FDA pregnancy category D. This means that it can hurt your baby. It’s very dangerous when it’s used in a first trimester. So, you should talk with your doctor that you planning to become pregnant. Also woman who is breast-feeding a baby shouldn’t use Diazepam.

Hi, I have been taking methadone tablets (Physeptone) 40mg per day also 10mg of diazepam daily for a chronic pain condition for about 10 years now. I had my son 3 years ago who is a beautiful, healthy little boy. When I found out that I was pregnant with him I had major concerns about taking my medication while pregnant, I was told to stay on all my medication by my doctor and was monitered regularly at the hospital where I was to give birth. I had an easy pregnancy with no problems, my doctor also recommended that I take 1 extra diazepam (valium) as I had to stop smoking and he said that taking 1 extra diazepam when I was stressed or felt like a ciggie outweighed the risk of smoking when pregnant. I gave birth to a beautiful, healthy little boy!! (I do thank God everyday that he is healthy) After the birth he stayed in the hospital for 2 weeks more than me as he was monitered for any withdrawl symptoms. They put him on a low doze of Phenobarbatitone shortly after his birth, he did not show any symptoms of withdrawl and I was able to take him home after 2 weeks and I was told to reduce his doze of phenobarb every other day. He had no problems coming off the medication and he was a fantastic baby, he fed well, slept well and only cried when hungry, sleepy etc. I recommend that you talk to a medical professional regarding taking any type of medication when pregnant as with my situation if I had stopped taking my medication of tryed to reduce in any way I know that I would have got sick therefore my baby would have got sick also, and I may have lost him. Of course I would much rather have been well and taking no medication when pregnant but in my situation that could have been fatal for both of us! I wish you all the best and hope you are feeling ok and that your baby is doing well.
