Planning for a baby with not only your neurologist but with your OBGYN is a plan that is solid. Creating a team of doctors that can work together is important. Some Epilepsy meds increase your liver function so OB's have you start prenatal vitamins and folic acid pills ahead of time. Some medications transfer through breast milk and some don't...

I have to healthy wonderful children both which I had seizures actively with while pregnant. I had a LOT of appointments with doctors before and during having them, I had to change meds, go to monitoring and have a lot of blood work done but I can tell you they were worth all of it!
