I am 4 months pregnant. I take 300mg of trileptal twice a day and 150 mg of zonegram at night. I have partial epilepsy. Im very worried that my medication while cause damage to the baby as its growing. My doctors are not very concerned but I cant help but worry. I am taking folic acid but prior to the pregnancy it wasnt daily.
Is the risk high of damage?
