Doctor collaboration: I recommend that your obstetrician and your psychiatrist work together as a team to develop the safest plan possible. They will weigh the risks of your mental health issues with the risk to the fetus. Recommend that they collaborate as soon as possible. Clonazepam use is of concern.
