Pregnancy: First Trimester Community
Congratulations! You're pregnant! From the miraculous beginning through week ... more
and I have just a few concerns. I have had a mild form of epilepsy for over 10 years (only diagnosed for 5). I take a med call Lamictal once a day to stop the partial seizures and the seem to help very well. I have talked with my Neuro before we even started trying and he informs me that this is the most mild drug when it comes to side effects (hair lip/cleft pallet) and that I only have a 3-5% of that happening. I can't go off the meds at all (tried once and I had the seizures again), but I was wondering if anyone else here has epilespy or seizures and what you do for them?
