any other moms or moms to be epileptic?

so i have epilepsy and am currently almost 12 weeks. i was wondering what other moms experiences were with their pregnancy and epilepsy. i’m definitely struggling. my seizures were somewhat controlled before getting pregnant, but i would still have them maybe once a week. since becoming pregnant, i have at least two a day.

PLZ HELP WEIGHT & PREGNANCY

I’ve just found out recently I’m pregnancy with my second baby, I’m 6’1 and weighed 127kgs when I first got pregnant and was around 132kgs by the end of my pregnancy, I had no complications, or health risks to myself or baby, during or after my pregnancy, however I am now expecting my second, and weigh 150kgs, I AM NOT HERE FOR JUDGEMENT, I AM AWARE IT IS UNHEALTHY AND NOT GOOD FOR MYSELF, I just want to know if any other mums around my weight, bigger or smaller, continued with a pregnancy, and where there any health risks highlighted by drs during pregnancy that could have affected you or ur baby, I’m happy to be pregnant and to continue, but I feel like I should maybe terminate the pregnancy in case my weight may cause defects or issues to my baby, mums who were/are in a similar position what did you do, how did it go, I’m not looking for advice or opinions, JUST MUMS WHO EXPERIENCED WHAT I AM RIGHT NOW, thank you xx

Has anyone gotten this high of a reading in the 1 hour test and then passed the three hour test? I'm waiting for the doctor to call but I figure its going to be bad news :(

Is anyone else scared and always sick

I'm really struggling with my pregnancy
Constantly feeling low and tired and sick
I'm worried about being a mum
I can't wait but also scared
I feel like everything is just too much and I feel alone

Anyone else struggling

Stopping Xonvea

I’m currently 24 weeks and suffer with emetephobia (fear of being sick) so the first trimester was a bit of a nervy one for me 😂 but I’m now looking at tapering off Xonvea as I don’t want to go cold turkey when I give birth, and I’m quite hesitant.

Has anyone got any experience on how they came off their sickness medication and when? 🙏
