Hey there. How long did you take the extra Klonopin for? I really don't think it will hurt your precious baby. What did your research come up with?
Stay calm.

Me again. Another thing you can is ask a pharmacist. They would know more than the doctors.

I can understand how concerned you would be. I have found it's amazing how the questionable things we do DON'T effect a fetus. I know a number of women who have ingested teratogenic substances in the first trimester due to not knowing they were even pregnant and things turned out well. Now, that's not an excuse to be reckless but I hope that does reassure you some.
I'm sure you've had serial ultrasounds and that should also reassure you as to any structural problems. U/S's are really good diagnostic tools.
Do you have a specific thing that concerns you?

The lack of stress is probably better for the baby. Forgive if I misspell. I am trying to type one armed. I broke my arm last night and am ina tempoary cast. Love Phillipa

Hey there. I would like to know what the pharmacist said. Are you more at ease now? I hope so.

~basically there is not 'sufficient' evidence one way or the other but the effects i feel affects the baby. if possible, it's recommended not to take any meds. but if they are needed it is better for the baby if mom is doing okay. he said that cigarette smoking causes more damage than the amount of clonzeapam i was taking, there is just no category listed for that, like A,B,C,D,X...
