Can you have children with epilepsy?

Pregnancy is possible. For epilepsy patients, before trying to get pregnant, it is important to consult your doctor, make a detailed plan, adjust your medication, and choose drugs that have less effect on the fetus such as levetiracetam. This is because some epilepsy drugs may have an effect on the fetus and cause malformations. There are also genetic issues to consider before pregnancy, many idiopathic epilepsies are monogenic. In the process of preparation for pregnancy and treatment, it is important to take medication on time to control epilepsy, and to develop good living habits, go to bed early and get up early, do not overwork, and reduce stimulation, so as not to cause flare-ups.
