The effect of Sizopin (clozapine) on pregnancy is not very well known. A few studies have not found any increased risk of abnormalities in the baby. It should be taken in the lowest possible dose. Do not stop the drug abruptly without consulting your doctor as it may make you unwell. There is slightly increased risk of diabetes in pregnancy. Breastfeeding should be avoided if taking this medicine as passage to the baby can cause sleepiness and low white cell count in the baby. If the mother still wishes to breastfeed, it should be done 2-3 hours after taking the medicine to minimise passage to the baby.

Pregnancy can be continued but under the care of Gynaecologist and a medical specialist. As your pregnant I would suggest you to be on tablet folic acid 5 mg twice daily from now.
