Can valium cause birth defects?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Possibly.: Studies in rats have shown that it can lead to cleft palate and other palatal abnormalities. Anti-anxiety meds like valium is category d meaning it is likely to cause birth defects. I would not recommend valium at any stage of pregnancy.
