At around 5 weeks of pregnancy, medical abortion may be an option, but please do not take an “unwanted kit” on your own, especially while taking multiple psychiatric medicines.
Sodium valproate can increase the risk of fetal abnormalities, but this does not automatically mean that termination is mandatory. Please consult a gynecologist urgently to confirm the pregnancy location and gestational age and discuss the safest option. Also speak to your psychiatrist before stopping or changing any psychiatric medicine, as sudden discontinuation can be harmful.
