Reply by MrsMack29 » May. 30, 2012 10:14am Hi I also have epilepsy and I have two beautiful daughters the only thing is your are considered high risk and also you may have a lot more ultrasounds with your pregnancy and they will make sure that the medication is good during pregnancy. Also if I may add epilepsy is most of the time hereditary so my oldest daughter who is 9 also has epilepsy. Report |
