Hello Mrs. and congratulations on the pregnancy! According to the resources I have, clonazepam is safe in the 2nd trimester, if taken sporadically as needed However, you should know that regular use of this product is not recommended, especially since poorly controlled anxiety can affect you and your baby. If you find that you are having difficulty functioning without this medication, do not hesitate to talk to your doctor.
