Almost 70% of women surveyed about a powerful epilepsy drug have not received new safety warnings about the dangers of taking it during pregnancy, the BBC has been told exclusively.

Sodium valproate, known as Epilim, carries a 10% risk of physical abnormalities in unborn babies.

Susan Cole told the Today programme how her daughter developed fetal valproate syndrome after Cole took the drug during pregnancy.
