Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions with healthcare professionals regarding their condition. Women with epilepsy may wish to ask their doctor the following questions:

1. How can I control my seizures during my menstrual cycle?
   
   
2. Could my epilepsy be to blame for my difficulties becoming pregnant?
   
   
3. Should I make changes to my seizure medications?
   
   
4. What should I do if I have a seizure while pregnant?
   
   
5. Are there any birth defects associated with my seizure medication?
   
   
6. Are there any prenatal supplements that I should avoid?
   
   
7. What are the chances of my child being born with epilepsy?
   
   
8. Will my seizures stop when I begin menopause?
   
   
9. Will my seizure medications interact with my birth control pills?
   
   
10. Will my seizure medications affect my baby after birth?
