So sorry to hear this. I’ve had three pregnancies (lamictal for 2 and keppra for 1). Monitoring levels and increasing doses as pregnancy progressed prevented me from having seizures. I hope your neurologist is knowledgeable in pregnancy and epilepsy. Best to you

I had to rest more often. I had med increases during the third trimester. After both of my deliveries I had huge GMs. Neither of my boys have because its not hereditary. My youngest suffers severe ADHD. Not sure if its due to the meds or not.

Are they any tips you had as far as getting them under control or getting your doctor to listen to you
