What Are The Possible Consequences Of Taking Lexotan In Pregnancy?

Hello. I am 40 years old, 1.65 - hight, 58 - weight. and pregnant in the 9 th month. During the first trismester i have been taking the sedative Lexotan almost every day /one pill a day/. After that -now and then- i've been taking it also. Now i read that it is not recommended and even dangerous. My question is - what are the possible consequences and what are the risks for the baby? Are there any researches made, i read something about hypotomia, breathing problems - are they Sure to happen or May be? And if it is not sure - what is the chances that they happen?? Really , i am very disturbed and scared.
