Hello
I understand your concerns.
Diazepam is relatively safe in pregnancy, especially when taken on SOS basis.
You can take 2 mg tablets as prescribed by your doctor when needed.
Also practice relaxation exercises like deep breathing and meditation to keep your mind relaxed.
Hope you have healthy pregnancy.
Take care.
