I started out at 300mg pre-pregnancy and ended my pregnancy at 1200mg. I do not recall the weekly upgrades. I did almost weekly blood draws to check my levels.

My pregnancy was high-risk, but I was healthy throughout. I stayed in very close contact with my epileptologist. However, after my son was born, my doctor cut my dosage in half for fear that after my hormones dropped I would have negative side effects. I had no control over the dosage, because I was a hospital patient, despite being unsure if it was a high enough dosage for me. I had a partial seizure with hallucinations a few days after birth. My son was in the NICU, and I had extra stress, which likely did not help. I also had gained weight, which probably did not help either. Luckily, I was in the hospital so was able to get a blood draw ASAP. I immediately added another 100mg. My son is 3.5 years old now, and I have stayed at 700mg since. At my most recent blood draw a few months ago, my levels are still right in the middle.
