Hello doc Actually I'm pregnant. I have hypothyroid. Which was last tested with 82 tsh level. M taking thyronorm 100 mg ryt now with calcium & vitamins tablets. Plus I have an epilepsy problem called JME. As I consulted gynecologist yesterday. She told me to ask my neuro surgeon abt this prob first because I am on valprol CR 500 tablet from the last two years and she said that pregnancy should be avoided with this medicine. But last time I had my periods on 1 nov 2017, its about more than two months. What should I do? Should I terminate my pregnancy? I am very confused. I don't know what to do. Please please suggest me. I Really need your help doc. i am stuck between emotions. Please reply.

The situation needs detailed discussion. Valproate can cause problems with development of the baby. But not always valproate will cause problems. On the other hand uncontrolled epilepsy is more dangerous for you and your baby. Majority of the valproate related problems can be diagnosed in ultrasound. But some problems can develop at relatively late age of the baby. Please start folic acid and discuss the issue in a meeting with neurologist, gynaecologist and your family being present.
