Anybody here with epilepsy?

Question

Hey ladies.! So I just wanted to know if any of you that have epilepsy have had a normal pregnancy.. I'll be ttc in October because that's when the prenatals and folic acid should be working for me to have a healthy pregnancy. Did anybody experience any seizures when y'all were pregnant?

Answer

I have epilepsy. They'll increase your dosage by about 50-100% from 12 weeks onward as when you're pregnant things like blood volume affect your levels. You'll be monitored every 6 weeks. Also you'll need to check with your neurologist first in case they need to switch your medication (I had to change from Epilim to Lamictal for a year before TTC). Some anticonvulsants aren't safe for pregnancy so definitely ask about that.
