Before you become pregnant, or as early in your pregnancy as possible, you'll be referred to an obstetrician, who will discuss and plan your care during pregnancy. If necessary, a neurologist may also be involved in putting this plan together.
You may need extra appointments and scans to check your baby’s development, or blood tests, to check the level of anti-epileptic medicines in your blood, depending on which anti-epileptic drugs you take.
You can talk to your care team about how epilepsy may be inherited and any other concerns you have.
