Hello dear,
to be specific about the drug, it is not known whether it can affect pregnancy or not, but some of its contents affect blood clotting. So, it is advisable to stop the drug with immediate effect from now onward. If you are so much concerned about the baby, you should have regular followup of your pregnancy with ultrasound and an anomaly scan to be performed around 12 weeks. For better alternative of the drug, you may consult to an obstetrician.
