How can Clonazapam affect on my baby?

I’ve been taking Clonazapam for a while and I know enough about it. It’s normal that I asked information about medicine I was taking. My doctor told me about CNS depression that occur, behaviour problems, vomiting, increased appetite, urinary retention, low back pain, and so on and on. Now I’m planning to have a baby so I don’t know how that could affect on my baby?
