Abstract
Women with epilepsy (WWE) face challenges throughout their reproductive life that place them and their unborn offspring at risk of adverse events. It is important to choose an antiepileptic drug (AED) that can control seizures, does not interfere with contraception, and is favorable for childhood outcomes. Pregnant women need folic acid, prenatal vitamins, frequent medication management, and careful obstetrical monitoring. Postpartum WWE should be monitored for postpartum depression and counseled about seizures from sleep deprivation. With the proper counseling and attentive care, WWE can maintain seizure control and deliver healthy babies.
