[epilepsy] epilepsy and pregnancy

 

Hi all,
I am 29 and medicated for ep, hoping to start a family. Just wondering what your experiences with epilepsy and pregnancy were. Please feel free to email me off list if you prefer kbenda83@gmail.com.
I have had epilepsy since age 10, currently taking 1000 mg of keppra daily. Did you choose to go off meds or stay with them for pregnancy?
Did ep make conceiving or pregnancy more difficult? What were you experiences? What worked/ didn't? I am willing to go off meds even if I can't drive. Going to the neuro next week, just trying to figure what's the best choice. I am working with a high risk ob and hospital. I have few seizures, 100% controlled by meds. When I did have seizures, it was because of fevers, diseases or medications- almost always while living overseas. Back in the US now, planning to stay for the foreseeable future.
Thanks!
Kate
