Valproic acid is an anticonvulsant medication known to be associated with teratogenic effects, including craniofacial abnormalities and spina bifida, when taken during pregnancy. It's important for pregnant individuals to consult their healthcare provider when considering anticonvulsant treatment to weigh the risks and benefits and explore safer alternatives if possible.

Hope this helps you:))
