Of course: Yes, you can have your baby! you may need to check if your medication causes problems, but few do to the magnitude reported. You should be prepared for a variety of doctor reactions, based on their views.

Klonopin (clonazepam) & pregnancy: Yes, it's possible to have a baby when you have anxiety/panic issues. However, there are medicines that might be safer for your baby than klonopin, (clonazepam) which has an fda "d" rating in pregnancy. Other antipanic medicines like ssri's are category "c." if planning a pregnancy, please talk with your doctor & consult with a psychiatrist too. They can help you shift your panic meds to be safer for baby.
