I started having seizures when I was 8 years old and that has been a long time ago. I may be too old for my comment to count but just in case, I never had any problems getting pregnant and the pregnancies went very well without any problems and had two very healthy children who both have healthy children now. As was mentioned earlier, it is a good idea to make sure your medications are safe to take during your pregnancy. Hope this makes you feel better. Take care!

I may have had a few seizures when I was 3 years old. When I came into puberty I started to have my menstral cycle my partial- complex seizures announced themselves monthly.  When I was working at a University I met my husband who was working at another University.  He was happy if I did or didn't have children.  Surprise, surprise, I checked w/ the ob/gyn and my neurologist and found out I could have children.  My Neurologist worked at the University I was working at and said think about the responsibilities and stresses.  Changing them on a flat location, having your husband wash the baby in case you have a seizure, etc.  We thought about the possibilities.  I only took Tegretol at that time.  I miscarried once. The second time around I had a beautiful baby boy.  I did not breast feed because I felt funny giving medication to my baby, this was in the 90's.  I had 4 more miscarriages but I was understresses of job, deaths in family, etc., looking back at it now it was appropriate, then I was on three anticonvulsants Tegretol, Klonopin, and Lamictal, I had a healthy little girl 4 years later we moved from the west coast to the east coast.  Now one is 16 and the other is 12, both are healthy taking advanced classes in school.  They are teenagers and causing grey hair.  They are blessings.  I've had babysitters when my sz are out of control so someone can drive them places.  Some days I wish I had one, because I sometimes cannot think straight but my friends that don't have seizures say the same thing.  Raising children is a challenge and you need not only have your husband but others to help even if you do not have seizures.  You need someone to talk too or vent w/.  You want to do the right thing for you and your child.  I had my church, my family, my babysitting crew and my neighbors!  It's a crew to raise a child! to support you and your husband.  You have no clue on  how exhausting it is!
