Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An increased risk of congenital malformation in infants of mothers taking benzodiazepines in the first trimester has been reported.Near-term administration of benzodiazepines to the mother has resulted in floppy infant syndrome.Because these agents are seldom absolutely needed (except for epilepsy),they should be avoided in women who are or may become pregnant and in nursing mothers.The first trimester,often before the patient knows that she is pregnant,is the time benzodiazepines are more likely to be teratogenic or cause problems in the fetus.
