That is a safe answer to give without looking anything up and without taking into consideration the reason why the person is taking the medication to start with. If your anxiety without the Librium is so bad that you will lose th pregnancy as a result of not taking taking the librium, then taking the librium is a lot safer for the pregnancy than not taking it.
