@@breannaccarter1 I haven’t had any seizures since I was 11 I started at 7 years old .....me and my husband want kids and I’m scared that my baby will have birth defects or I may have a conception problem.....should I just call and schedule a appointment too talk with a obgyn doctor first ? Or ?
I have rare epilepsy and I'm so glad that someone did this video thank you love you so much because I was thinking I never have nothing info about this and I'm gonna be lonely whit this thing so thank you💕
I have epilepsy too, also on Keppra. It terrifies me thinking about pregnancy and lack of sleep…thanks for making this video! I’d love to hear more about your experience!
Hi!! I have Generalized Epilepsy. Diagnosed at 14. I’m now 27 and married. My husband and I are wanting to start a family and have spoken to my neurologist, and our high risk OB. I am currently taking Keppra, Vimpat, Zonegran and Lamictal. My neurologist wants me off of Lamictal before becoming pregnant due to chance of cleft lip & pallet. He said Keppra is the safest. Go with your gut sweet girl!! You are in charge of your own medicine. Always remember that!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this information I’m 22 i just got diagnosed with epilepsy back in February and I am thinking in the next few years I will want to start trying for kids hopefully things go smoothly
I'm so happy to come by this video! And all the women who also find it helpful. My friends are not epileptic and all mothers and I hear about how it's been so stressful etc or easy. All I think about is fear because I'm epileptic. I've been on Dilantin, Keppra and currently on Lamictal. I've been on Lamictal for the majority of my Epilepsy journey. I had bad side effects with the other medications. So far, with Lamictal everything has been fairly good. I'm 32 and now my husband and I decided to try for a family. I love that you mentioned that it needs to be planned. It totally does. The folic acid is a MUST! I was recommended that if I want to even think about having a baby to start prenatals and folic acid intake asap. I've been doing so and feel great. Probably better than usual. Maybe us women should just take prenatals regularly, lol. I don't work to keep my stress level down. Every job I've had I've had seizures. I also don't live alone. My parents live with us, my husband and I. So I always have someone near for help. That was important to me. I was living alone prior. And then we lived together and when babies came into the mix, I knew I was going to need the extra help. So I'm so blessed and thankful for that. Have any of you thought about that? Cause I know it's going to be hard and tiresome etc. And that's all got seizures written on them. I really would recommend either a friend or family member or maybe even a dula or maid who can assist with anything you need. The extra help is a must I think. Or just someone who can be a stand-by incase of emergency. I think I'm also going to document the process for informational purposes cause you don't find a lot of this on UA-cam. Thank you so much! 💓
Was diagnosed at 6months old and I’m 25 years old and I take keppra, topmax and onfi and I’m also on birth control since like 15 years old. I also have vns implant .
Also the birth control method, you are correct. People with epilepsy can take bc because I'm also on it. Have been for 2 years. 'Xulane Patch' They say it helps my horomone patterns and I also found myself having less seizures. So yes glad to find this video with your advice and experience.
This video should be titled “possibly getting pregnant while having epilepsy” or something along those lines. I’ve been looking for personal videos on expecting moms on keppra, and I was happy to think this was it 😩😒
i have epilepsy and i'm on zonisamide and aptiom. i've been on zonisamide since i was a teenager and used it in many different ways, but aptiom is NOT helpful for my seizures at all and i worry for my health when i become pregnant
I have epilepsy and non epilepsy and when I was in labour I took a fit in labour Im on kepra am on 1000ml and I have had it since I was 4 but am gonna speak to my consultant when I see him nd ask him what tablets would be gd if am gonna have another baby and thanks for the video BTW x
Lamictal is a brand name of lamotragine as is keppra. They are the same thing just made by different people, some slightly different ingredients but not active ingredients. They are the same thing though. X
I’m on Keppra lamictal and zonagran since third 3rd grade I’m 24 now my seizures are undiagnoseble mine are all just said I only need to be off my Lamictal and Keppra for the first trimester currently they’re trying to lower my dosage of Lamictal
I had brain surgery for my epilepsy/seizures about 5 years ago but I’m still taking anti seizure medications zonisamide and the clobazam (onfi) me and my partner are planning to conceive sometime this year but I’m iffy about my medicine because of potential birth defects on the fetus I heard that lamotrigine and keppra are one of the safest medications to take for pregnancy
Ya your NP was not right. Keppra is perfectly safe for pregnancy. I am 26, pregnant with my first & I take 500 mg Keppra 2x daily. My dr only said that we’ll have to up my dosage in the 3rd trimester.
Do you know anything about trileptal and maybe what I can do am barely 18 not planning to have kids but I love kids and definitely want to in the future so I was courious I also take keppra so I take both trileptal and keppra and on birth control
Hello. I’m on keppra also. 1250 mg twice a day. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for a year. I’m not sure where you’re at now in your journey now, but I’m just curious if there’s been any troubles ttc. I can’t find anyone to talk to on this journey that’s on keppra and trying. Just trying to find someone that may understand and may be going through something similar
@@rajanshakya9410 He is 4 months old next week. I’m currently sitting here rocking him and snuggling. Healthy as could be. Being pregnant and gaining weight I even had to raise my dose to 1500 mg twice a day and he is perfect 😁
@@mackenziefoor6021 thanku so much for replying bcoz my wife is also having keppra500 mg n she is 4 month pregnant so was little worried...... congrats for having healthy baby....... n have a gr8 life ahead.........
Hello, im 16 weeks pregnant with twins. I never had a seizure or even lost my conscious before the preganancy. At 8 weeks i suddenly got a tonic seizure. I was taken to the hospital and observed for 24h. Everything was fine. The neurologist said it seems like an epilpesy but won't give me medecine and ordred a IRM which i am still waiting for. At 15 weeks i had another seizure but while asleep and i broke 4 teeth and damaged my tongue. I am afraid. I will see the doctor again in a month. I think he will give me pills because it's my second one. :(
I’m so concerned 😪.....I was diagnosed epilepsy when I was 7 and stopped having seizures at 11 ...I’m 18 currently and I think I’m pregnant I’m on trileptal will it affect my baby if keep taking them ? Do call and schedule obgyn appointment and tell them bout the anti seizure medication I’m currently on ?? Will they change my medicine?
@@Asiabass22 Don’t stop taking your meds. All epilepsy meds do increase risk of birth defects. My current meds (lamotragine and keppra) haven’t effected baby. Call hospital to tell them. It’s scary but the best thing you can do is continue with your meds. The main med which dangerous is sodium valproate. I don’t think yours is that risky. It’s often used during pregnancy. The doctors should prescribe you with high dose folic acid. Try not to worry. X There is a Facebook group for women who are pregnant with epilepsy. Check it out. I’m part of it.
@@Asiabass22 I researched for you. Your epilepsy medication isn’t much higher risk than any other person not taking meds. X don’t worry. It’s only 3% while not taking any meds is 2.5%. If you take 5mg of folic acid the risk halves. X Please don’t worry. X
