I am 14wks 5days pregnant. We are thinking of traveling, flying specifically, at Christmas. I experience severe anxiety/panic when I fly. Normally I would take xanax or ativan. I spoke with my obgyn about my concerns, and he said he would prescribe ativan. After doing a little research and learning that ativan is a cat D drug, I am not willing to take it while I m pregnant. My concern is any ill effects my anxienty may have on my baby if I just tough it out . I don t HAVE to travel. Are there any reasons I should worry about how my anxiety would affect the baby? Also, my anxiety symptoms are shaking, shallow breathing, racing heart. Thank you!
