Feeling Judged by OB...

She definitely should have not discussed your business in the open but they do have a right to be concerned. When you are pregnant your threshold lowers significantly which is why it's important to increase medication for you and your baby's safety. When I was 7 months pregnant with my second I went into status epilepticas. I had to be intubated because I stopped breathing and they couldn't get my seizure to stop. At the time I had only ever had a couple seizures in my entire life and I was on a very low dose of Keppra. Thankfully, I was in the emergency room with my daughter because she was sick. I was told if I was not already in the hospital when I started seizing I'd most likely be dead because I would have lost oxygen for too long which also means my baby would have died. Obviously, it's up to but it seems you are willing to be on them to prevent seizures but not willing to up them when you are pregnant? I am currently pregnant with my 3rd and have been stable on Keppra. I got my level checked at the beginning of my 2nd trimester and it was way below the threshold so I needed to up my dose. I am sorry you are feeling judged. I am not sure if you understand why your medication needs to be upped during pregnancy? You may have gotten lucky with your other pregnancy but it only takes one seizure to bring on a lot of complications if you truly do have epilepsy. I hope you are not offended but I am also a concern health care professional that also has epilepsy and experience with almost dying while pregnant because my dose was not at therapeutic range.
