2017, Neurotoxicology and TeratologyCitation Excerpt :Little is known about possible long-term consequences of prenatal BBRM exposure and child behavior. Prenatal exposure to benzodiazepines has been associated with a delay in development and attention-deficit and hyperactivity symptoms (Laegreid et al., 1989; Viggedal et al., 1993), but has not been associated with children's school behavior (Stika et al., 1990). In the current study, the associations of prenatal BBRM exposure with childhood ODD symptoms and aggressive behavior were confounded by maternal anxiety during pregnancy.
Percutaneous nephrostomy tube placement in pregnancy: Care of the mother and unborn child
2016, Journal of Radiology NursingCitation Excerpt :In a meta-analysis, on the use of benzodiazepines during the first trimester of pregnancy, there was a significant increase in risk of oral cleft palate. However, other studies have failed to confirm this association (Dolovich et al., 1998; Ornoy et al., 1998; Laegreid et al., 1989). Diazepam should not be used for sedation in pregnant women as the use of diazepam during pregnancy has been associated with cleft palate and, when used later in pregnancy, neurobehavioral disorders (Dolovich et al., 1998; Ornoy et al., 1998; Laegreid et al., 1989).
