I was on lamotrigine through both of my pregnancies and everything turned out just fine. I was taking 600mg/day and 100mg/day topiramate.

Congratulations! I too was on lamotragine during my pregnancies. Strangely enough I didn't have one seizure or aura during that time, I felt great. Unfortunately, the seizures did return once I had my kids. Good luck to you. Stay in closer contact the your Dr.'s during this time.

I have 2 healthy boys and was on both. I went to a neurologist that specialized in pregnant women with epilepsy. Unfortunately, her husband killed her right before I had my second son in 2013. I wish that was made up but it's not.

I didn't have any seizures while I was pregnant either. I thought it was because I was not going through my menstrual cycle. A lot of my seizures seem to be related to that.
