I am on the 8th month of my pregnancy I am using tegretol 600mg per day, 200 in the morning and 400 in the evening, since my last seizure it pased more than three years I am still on medication with doctor prescription to stop using the medication after the baby delivery !

I am interested on painless birth using Epidural Anesthetic and would like to ask the doctor can that be a problem and or can it cause seizures after or during the birth ?! or will it be a problem to have Epidural Birth using these medication ?!

I thank you for your help
