I have been epileptic since I was two years old, Im now 40. I have four kids, two of them have seizures and two never had one. That said, they don't know what caused my epilepsy. I believe it was from biological mother doing drugs and abuse, but I have no clue lol

I was on epilim and told to change to another medication to reduce risk of baby being born with any disabilities and I was told it would be best not to breast feed so didn't but I now have 2 healthy, happy boys and had no problems

You should be fine with children. I was diagnosed at the age of 3. I went on to have 2 boys with my ex and they are both clear.
