Hello
thanks for your query.
It is alright to take AKT with pregnancy.
Please do not worry on that score, and there is no indication for termination of pregnancy.
There is no evidence of any anomalies studied with AKT during pregnancy.
Take regular folic acid supplements.
Have routine ultrasounds and genetic testing done during course of pregnancy as recommended by your obstetrician.
Take care.
