Hi everyone,
My partner and I are thinking of having kids soon, and although we have discussed this with my neurologist and GP I still have so many unanswered questions. For example, a number of the AED's don't have any strong data to say that they are safe to be taken during pregnancy. Therefore, is it safer for me to not take anything and not poison my child, but without the drugs I run the risk of possibly hurting my child through a fall?
What have your experiences been with pregnancy and epilepsy? What drugs, if any, did you/your spouse/mother take whilst being pregnant? How did the pregnancy affect your epilepsy?
cheers,
Yvette
