I took Xanax during my pregnancy with my first child. He has been late on every milestone, and is now almost 3 years old and still not talking, not saying any words at all, and he has never mimicked anything like other babies do.

I do not know for sure that this is a birth defect caused by Xanax, but there is no other reason he would be having these issues.

Birth defects are actual things that are wrong with the body, not lack of keeping up developmentally with other children.
