Congrats!: The first thing is that you stopped. Just keep your prenatal visits and monitor your baby. Since you stopped early that was great step. No way to really know, but the likelihood is very low. Just make sure you see your practitioner for proper prenatal visits. Also get a good prenatal vitamin.

Should be ok: No guarantees, but all should be fine. More problems would be caused by smoking or drinking. Most drugs are category c as they should not be used in pregnancy as they "may" cause issues. There have been a multitude of healthy infants born from mothers who have taken similar meds even longer. You did the right thing by stopping when you found out you were pregnant. Best wishes.
