JME and pregnancy

I am a 25 year old woman with JME. Can any mothers can tell me about the types of medications they have taken while pregnant? Any discussion I have with my husband about having children is complicated with speculation about whether I would be able to adapt to the difficult lifestyle of first-time parents. My main concern about having children is that I can't figure how I would deal with the sleep-deprivation that occurs during the first year (and past that) of babyhood. My husband is very sensitive and will probably do more than his fair share of getting up at night but I know that after two days of having interrupted sleep I would have a seizure. I don't plan on having children for another 5 or 6 years but these are concerns that I think of often because I don't know any epileptic women who have dealt with these problems themselves. What's been your experience as a new sleep deprived mother? I have adapted my life to being an epileptic but I can't imagine how I would be able to do the same faced with the challenges of early motherhood. My neurologist has explained to me that I would be taken off Depakote and put on another drug that is safe to take during pregnancy but didn't go into details about what that drug would be or how it would differ from Depakote (which I have had good success with). I have a mild form of JME and have only had one grand mal seizure, Depakote and a strict sleeping schedule seems to keep the seizures away.Do any mothers have any information about epilepsy medication and breastfeeding? Are there medications that are safe to take while breastfeeding and has anyone had any personal experiences with these medications while breastfeeding?Thank you for your help!
