Question: Should I go off of my anti-seizure medication for pregnancy? I was just diagnosed with a seizure disorder and put on medication that my doctor told me is safe during pregnancy because I want to conceive in the next few months.  I looked it up on safefetus.com and it was only given a grade of "C," and says it should only be taken during pregnancy if absolutely necessary.  I'm not sure that the benefits of the medication outweigh the risks.  I'd rather have seizures than have something happen to my baby.  So far my seizures have only been in my sleep.  What do you think I should do?

Answer: Preventing seizures while you are pregnant is "absolutely necessary.". They have to pick the lesser of two evils when it comes to medications during pregnancy... and in this case they will probably tell you to continue the medication. Pregancy category C meds are given alot more than you would think.
