Maybe some pre-pregnancy genetic councelling could be of help.There are docs who specialize in this and can help you decide if there is any risk to any children you may have.Good luck.

Epilepsy is not hereditry it is caused by damage usualy to the left side of the brain.
Although epilepsy can be dangerouse to pregnant women in the fact that seizures can not be kept under control properly without medication some forms are not used on pregnant women.

Most forms of epilepsy don't have a well defined inheritance, so by that, the chances of your child inheriting it are small. For some specific forms, the inheritance is well defined and tests can be done to determine the probability of inheritance. You need to find out whether the type of epilepsy your husband suffers from is highly inheritable or not, or subsequent to physical trauma. Ask your doctor and if he/she doesn't know, ask for referal to a specialist who may know.
