Depakote and Pregnancy


Question: 
Hi,
I have been on Depakote for about 3 months now, and just found out I am pregnant.. Help, I am so scared because I have heard that you cannot get pregnant while on this drug, and have a normal baby.. Is this true? 
I just need to know what to do..

Thanks for your time.

Response:
Hi 
Please discuss this matter urgently with your doctor . Tests can be done to determine if the baby is healthy. Your doctor should also be able to advise you about medications through the rest of your pregnancy.
