Most of the women with epilepsy in the study took either lamotrigine or levetiracetam during their pregnancy, or a combination of the two. Having a seizure during pregnancy may not only harm the mother but possibly the baby as well, so seizure control is an important part of prenatal care, said study author Kimford J. Meador, M.D., of Stanford University in Stanford, Calif., and a Fellow of the American Academy of Neurology. Yet, antiseizure drugs are known to cause birth defects or neurobehavioral problems, but these effects vary widely
