Epileptic mum's to be?

Is there any epileptic mum's to be (or mum's already)?, I only got diagnosed last year and then unexpected baby too, did anything change for you majorly other than the amount of hospital appointments. I feel somewhat overwhelmed by the sheer amount of appointments, and people involved in my pregnancy.

I'm epileptic 10w1d today got my booking appointment next week. Have tonic clonic and absence seizures... But freaked out a tiredness has meant a few more absences but not had a T/C for over a year so hope I don't have one and baby stays safe. So nervous about it all!

I'm epileptic and the only major thing that's been changed is the meds I'm on. I was slowly transitioning to a safer med before we got pregnant and as soon as I found out, I completely transitioned. There is a lot of monitoring but it's worth it in the end. I appreciate it bc the hospital I go to apparently doesn't give normal pregnancies good enough care but high risks get a TON of care so that's nice. I've had epilepsy since I was 12 and I have the complex/grand mal seizures and those are scary. I'm just really grateful bc I haven't had a seizure for a year so praying that nothing happens. I also have a neighbor who has the same seizures as me and she has 2 healthy boys. ☺️
