Any epileptic mom or mom to be?

Question

Hi ladies I'm epileptic and I'm a mom to be, I'm under my treatment but I'm looking for any moms or moms to be with epilepsy just to know how you feeling and your experience with pregnancy and this condition

Yes, but I've been off medication for about two years and have been having great success using essential oils instead. I was on Depakote ER for years.

Answer

I'm epileptic as well & I have a lot of questions this is my 3rd pregnancy but this is the farthest I've made it so far . I'm curious as to how long it's been since you ladies have had a seizure & if they automatically considered you a high risk pregnancy . Is there anything you had to do different during your pregnancy ? Did it effect you or you baby in anyway ?
