Important to note that the ASD/VSD is something that happens to babies with mothers not taking medication. It can be fairly common. No issues during pregnancy

Trough bloodwork was done before getting pregnant to help understand where a “safe level” of medicine was for me during pregnancy. Bloodwork was done monthly and if levels dipped below what was safe my dosage was increased. Tapering was quick post-delivery, but I am still on a slightly higher dose of 1 medication for extra coverage in the newborn stage while facing sleep deprivation, stress, etc.
I had seizures early on in my pregnancy and so my doctor upped my lacosamide dosage and prescribed me folic acid. My current neurologist told me that my old neurologist didn't prescribe the folic acid soon enough for it to actually help keep my daughter safe. He suggested that if I do want to have another child that I take a consistent amount of folic acid even before pregnancy to ensure that I do not have any complications.

A lot of acid reflux. 2-3 dejavu auras per month. More dejavu auras after pregnancy.
This pregnancy was my second and completely unexpected. I was approximately 12 weeks pregnant at my first kiddos birthday. Again I was not aware that anti epileptic medications decreased the efficacy of birth control. This pregnancy was a healthy pregnancy with a healthy birth epidural and all. I did have a few seizures during this pregnancy but I had a one year old that didn’t sleep also. She is two now and our only problem has again been ear infections but ear tubes fixed the problem. She is appropriate developmentally for a two year old. Walks, talks and plays with all the other children. She is a fast learner and knows what buttons to press. I personally have had more trouble after this pregnancy. Around 9 months I began having more seizures than I’ve ever had however I had many large life stressors that could have been a huge cause as well. Two children under two is no joke also!
My first little one will be four soon. I had a great pregnancy and normal birthing experience, epidural and all. At the time it was not widely known that anti epileptic medications decreased the efficacy of birth control. Luckily I was already taking the folic acid that is recommended for women of child bearing age. I had been seizure free for about a year at the time of this pregnancy and remained seizure free until about three or four months after baby was born. She will be four soon and so far has met all her “milestones” and is what I would consider a normal kid. She is active, makes friends, talks non stop and her only true problem has been ear infections but that runs in the family.
