My fiance and I are wanting to start a family! This should be amazing news, but since I was more recently diagnosed with epilepsy I'm terrified because I know nothing about having kids in my condition.

I was on my meds all through my pregnancy. My daughter was early but she is okay. She's 15 and I'm so blessed. I took 4x the normal dose of vitamin k six months prior to trying to get pregnant and all through my pregnancy. My meds can cause clef lip and palate in babies. My daughter was fine.

Maybe start with your GP they should be able to refer you to professionals that deal with these issues
