Newly pregnant and taking Lamictal

Hi, i know this thread is old but i thought i would add my experiance of taking lamatical during pregnancy. I was taking 100mg twice a day (my normal dose)... i knew i had to stick to this as i am guanteed to have  seizure the following day if i miss a dose.... because of this i had to have a weekly blood test to endure i had enough medication in my bloodstream otherwise they would have had to increase it.. however it stayed the same during my pregnancy so no increase was needed.... i was taking 5mg folic acid tablets for 5months whilst trying to conceive and during the whole pregnancy... i was given a detailed scan to check for cleft lip at 18weeks.. all was clear and no signs of it.... i had gestational diabetes and had to take insulin... othereise i generally had a good pregnancy.... my waters broke naturally however 6weeks early! I had an emergency c-secion and all was fine... she was born at 4lb and no signs of any complications... she was born with sacred dimples.... however the skin had grown over so it was harmless.... (i heard lamatical can cause sacred dimples to be left open and cause many complication) i was lucky that they were closed..... i was advised not to breast feed due to the medication.... she will be turning 5 soon and there have been no issues in development.... when trying for another child i will most definitely do the same and stick to the medication.... nothing more scary than to have a seizure during pregnancy xx

Hi Amanda I just have a question I'm 8 weeks pregnant and taking lamictal 200mg once a day for seizures. Did you take lamictal your whole pregnancy an if so was there any complications with the baby??

Congrats to you Summer!!! Me and my husband are trying to get pregnant and I am on Lamictal and would love to know how things go with you. I am also taking Topamax and would like to know if anyone has had any expirence with taking this medicine while pregnant.
