EPILEPSY FACTS: EPILEPSY AND PREGNANCY
While the majority of women with epilepsy can and do become pregnant, they may have certain risks that women without epilepsy don't have. These risks can affect their health and that of their babies. Yet if properly managed, the risks are very small. Do not stop taking your medications, but do talk to your doctor before becoming pregnant or as soon as you learn you are pregnant.
