Taking Xanex while pregnant?

in August 2015 Moms
to my a long story short, my husband received orders for us to move to England. I will be around 30-33 weeks depending on when our flight gets booked. I haven't flown on a plane and I get anxiety attacks just thinking about it and I know I'll be freaking out the whole time. Also, I read international guidelines on most of the flights and after 27 weeks they require a quick medical examination which I'm sure will be questions and vital signs. I've had a history of high blood pressure and it easily spiked with my first pregnancy so I'm afraid me freaking out about flying will raise it to an unsafe amount and they will deny my travel. Does anyone know from knowledge or experience about taking xanex while pregnant? It's on my medication safe list but so are a few things my doctor told me were no nos my last pregnancy

    I wouldn't take Xanax while pg. maybe talk to your OB and see if there is an alternative.

    If I'm aloud to fly we already have plane tickets for Jamaica in May. I hate take off and normally have to take something. I will have to discuss with my ob if I can go and what other options I might have. Good luck to you.

    I would talk to your doctor about it, obviously, but I believe Benadryl is safe for use during pregnancy and can be used as an anxiolytic, so maybe that's a possibility.

    I wouldn't take it. Talk to your doc about an alternative. GL!

    Thank you ladies. I have been taking Benadryl for 10 years for insomnia (not that it really works) but I'll ask the doc about that and other options!!
