Has Anyone Here Been Through Pregnancy With Epilepsy?? I Am Planning On Getting Married Soon. Will It Be Difficult To Manage Pregnancy??

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member , Iβve never been pregnant & donβt care to & am now going through menopause, but years ago when my Pediatric Neurologist started me on Depakote he told me to let him know if I ever wanted to get pregnant because the Depakote could cause birth defects I think he said. So you would want to talk to your Neurologist ahead of time & let them know so they can make sure youβre on some safe medication during the pregnancy. Others on here have had kids. Congratulations on your engagement & I wish the best. Just keep in touch with your doctor & they likely should be able to help you with that journey. Good luck & congratulations! π€ππππ€ Your friend in Texas, Becky
