Hey there,

This is a question for other who have been through this not for opinions and judgment. I have an upcoming appointment with my obgyn and neurologist.

I got pregnant last year and it wasn’t the right time for us and had a termination at 10 weeks. Following a lot of stress and hormones, I had a clonic tonic seizure (first time) and another one and was put on keppra. Due to my stress and anxiety from the termination and new diagnosis I also started Zoloft. I completely stopped drinking and have been smoking weed most evenings.

My husband and I want to start ttc again and it feels so much more stressful than before thinking about the risks. I know most women with epilepsy have healthy pregnancies and babies and usually stay on their medications.

I obviously wouldn’t drink or smoke when pregnant and am worried about taking multiple medications and what that can do for ttc and first trimester development.
