Can Xanax Intake During Pregnancy Cause Problems In The Growing Fetus?

I am 6 and half months pregnant and i had my father pass away and it has been very hard especially on me. I took a 2 mg xanax and i was curious to know what the chances are of my baby having problems considering im 6 months along. I read online it is really only crucial in the first trimester when the fetus is developing but im just scared. please help??!
