Read our Epilepsy research guide →This is a research study that tracks pregnant people with epilepsy to see how their seizures change during pregnancy and how well their babies do at birth. The researchers want to understand whether following recommended epilepsy management guidelines during pregnancy leads to better outcomes for both you and your baby.
Many people with epilepsy become pregnant, but there is still much to learn about how pregnancy affects seizure control and what the safest management approaches are. This study aims to gather real-world information about outcomes when people follow current medical guidelines for epilepsy care during pregnancy.

You would continue your regular care at the epilepsy clinic and maternity program while researchers collect information about your pregnancy, delivery, and seizure control.

Your participation would span your pregnancy and into the postpartum period.
