Did anyone on Lamictal have a baby with birth defects?
The search results don't include specific stories from MyEpilepsyTeam members about birth defects related to Lamictal (lamotrigine). However, members have shared concerns about pregnancy while on anti-epilepsy medications in general.
Some members expressed worry about medication effects on their babies:
- One member said: "Ecstatic obviously but worried about what my meds might do to my Bub. Looking for experiences from other women who have had babies while on AED's???"
- Another shared: "Even though I have been given the go-ahead by my neurologist and OB, I am still nervous."
It's important to discuss your specific medication with both your neurologist and OB/GYN. They can provide guidance based on your individual situation and the latest research on Lamictal during pregnancy.
Many women with epilepsy have healthy pregnancies while on medication, but close monitoring is essential.
