Thanks JamesDean for hitting the nail on the head regarding the fear of lawsuits. In answer to your questions Phil, I was on 1 mg of Ativan per night for the duration of my pregnancy. I consulted a genetic specialist prior to getting pregnant to discuss the possible risks to the fetus when taking medication. I also consulted my current pdoc (who is also an OB/GYN) who was very reassuring about the ativan and zoloft I was taking (category c drugs). He feels, and I agree, that an untreated mental illness during pregnancy could be more disasterous to a fetus than a woman who is taking medication to remain mentally healthy. It was a very personal decision based on a great deal of soul searching, and to this day, I don't regret my choices.
