I wonder if Lamictal would work for you instead of Tegretol. Lamictal is safer in pregnancy. Women can and do have children while taking Seroquel, Tegretol, and Klonopin.

People are going to get tired of me saying this but if you can find a perinatal psychiatrist they specialize in meds during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

If you are taking an anticonvulsant during pregnancy you will probably want to take lots of folic acid, above what is recommended for the average pregnant woman. You may want to pick an OB when you can so you can get specific recommendations.

www.womensmentalhealth.org is a wonderful site full of good info.

I am obsessed about the topic of meds in pregnancy- being a Neonatal ICU nurse and a bipolar mom who wants more kids in the future....and I have access to scientific literature on the topic.
