Hi my name is Melissa, I’m 30 and I am taking
topiramate the subset of topamax I'm taking 75 mg at night I have been seizure
free for sevens years. I have been wondering has anybody had any seizures when
they are taking topamax or topiramate when they are pregnant and what did the
doctor said after that. Have there been any birth defects. What are they? Do you
guys now any good sits to go to for seizure and pregnancy.  Have anybody’s babies developed piriformis
Syndrome
may lead to Minor defects included a hole above the
buttocks. A flattened head, toe webbing is also called syndactyly. Clicky
hips" is a commonly used term used for a condition which includes
congenital dislocation of the hips (CDH) and developmental dysphasia of the hip
(DDH). And birth weights problems during the pregnancy
