Last night I had dreams all night that I suddenly went into labour, seemingly without even knowing I was pregnant, it's like I could actually feel the contractions (never actually experienced labour so I don't know what it feels like but it was like strong abdominal cramping). I remember feeling scared but my mum was there supporting me through it, then it all stopped & I was upset, I wanted my baby to be born.
I'm not really at a time in my life that I desire a child right now, I have been thinking about falling pregnant in the next few years though, but now I'm awake I actually can't stop thinking about having a baby. This happened once before, like 4 years ago when I was 22/23, the urge disappeared after a couple weeks. It's kindof strange. Also isn't lamotrigine contraindicated in pregnancy due to risk of cleft palate? Have any on PC had a successful & healthy pregnancy & birth whilst still taking anticonvulsants?

I have heard of some people delivering a healthy baby after being on some meds BUT it is always risky, sometimes clearly indicated that it is downright dangerous. I guess you need to have long chats with you doctor and spouse about risks/benefits. You may have to come off all your meds to be safe and that of course will take time and intense motivation and perseverance which I am sure you have since you long for a child. I really wish you the best. Keep us updated. I would be curious to know what your pdoc thinks.
