Thank you for video.

💜💜💜💜🇯🇲🇯🇲

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

Your comments are perfect. I have had this same illness since I was 13 years. I am now 58. Your comment on the feeling scared after is spot on. My situation is a everyday trial. Just a piece of advice. Meds are a must, to help control it. Take it day to day. One step at a time. 🙂

Thank you ❤

I am wanting 4 kids but i need to see how i get one with my first 2 x

I got diagnosed with epilepsy when i hit puberty about 13

I a epileptic and I am on lamatrogine medication anti seizure medication and I am pretty scared about having a fit when giving birth x

I also have seizures, I have really bad drop attacks and have to wear a helmet. I also have seizures, I have really bad drop attacks and have to wear a helmet.💡

I always hated that feeling of cluelessness you have when you regain consciousness.

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💕

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

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 😩😒

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 .

I have epilepsy and I'm taking 5g of folic acid should I take more?

Can you take lamictal while you are pregnant?

I was diagnosed with Photosensitive Epilepsy when I was 2 and had my Brain Tumor surgically removed when I was 8. It’s very common for Seizures to be caused by Brain Tumors. Photosensitivity doesn’t really bother me much.

Great video! May I ask what room category or number you were in? I wish I could have seen more of that.

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

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 RUclips. Thank you so much! 💓

Communication and everything works for you for the rest of your life God bless you and I prays are for you

I do have pancreatitis now I don't know they say it don't affect but it makes me wonder if it has anything to do with my medicine not working as well

How do you take my medicine on time everyday I know it's supposed to build up in your system if you forget to take it for about an hour or something like that you should still be controlled but I get feelings like I almost there but not really having a real breakthrough I'm like you it's scary

I had my first and second seizure I was twenty I was on tegretol now in my 50s they started again put me on keppra and two other medications not sure if it's still completely under control I've been still feeling a little bit funny now it's scary to me too have a kid now and want to be around to seem to grow up make a difference in his life.

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

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

thank you so much I had epilepsy since I was 14 and I am 21 now, I was scared I can not have kids in the future but feel so much better now

Thanks for sharing your story.

Thank you so much for sharing your story and shedding light on epilepsy!

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

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!

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.

I'm trying to have a baby I was on kepra and my doctor put me on lamictal and folic acid.

I won't stop Thanking at (Dr Oselumen Ose) on RUclips channel. I met him on youtube and I whatsapp him, he helped me with his herbal meds and cured me. Thank you Doc, I promise to share this everywhere to the entire world. Email Dr (droselumensolutioncenter@gmail.com)

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.

Tip for having a baby: Take folic acid (it's a vitamin) right now every day so you have taken it for at least 3 months before you get pregnant. And take it during pregnancy. Quit your job completely. Become a stay at home mom. Rest and sleep as much as you can during pregnancy, girl, take advantage of that! And maybe best to have a c section. Also quit coffee, rather drink chamomile tea, and lots of it. I have two normal, very intelligent, wonderful children and I had grand mal seizures during my first pregnancy. The right medication doesn't affect your baby at all, and having a seizure while pregnant doesn't affect your baby at all too, as long as you're safe in bed. Or on a sleeper couch in the living room getting pampered. The only thing is to go on a diet and exercise as soon as your baby is about a year old so you don't get overweight like me. 😂 But don't worry about it. You will be fine, especially if you know when a seizure is coming and you can go lie down before the seizure starts.

I’m 25 weeks pregnant with epilepsy, now on lamotragine and keppra. I lost my first baby due to my epilim.

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!❤️❤️❤️

Im in tears i know how you feel ❤️

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 was diagnosed when I was 15 and the scariest thing about having eplipsy is getting pregnant

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 have epilepsy seizures and I’m on keppra and vimpat and a liquid medicine called clobazam

I’m pregnant and I was scared I might lose my baby cause I have epilepsy seizures or harm myself I been on Oxcarbazepine for 10 years now .

You make me feel better because i have epilepy and i get bullied really badly. I am so happy that someone has it to.

This scares me. The thought of me just doing basically anything and then waking up in an ambulance or on the floor without any warning it scares me. Plus in the uk if you have a seizure you can’t drive for 2 years so :|

I’m currently 5 months and my epilepsy hasn’t affected me or the baby I feel good and just praying for a healthy baby

I'm 16 and I was diagnosed with epilepsy when I was 8 i sometimes want someone to talk about it

Thanks so much for sharing. I was diagnosed yesterday.
