Since 2000, a great deal of new information has become available about pregnancy outcomes in women with epilepsy. Most of this information has been related to the risks of major congenital malformations and cognitive behavioural deficits in children of women with epilepsy who had fetal antiepileptic drug exposure. 1–3 These studies have emphasised the risks of major congenital malformations, cognitive impairment, and autistic spectrum disorder for children exposed in utero to valproate (9· 3% at 1 year of age). 1–7 Intermediate risks for major congenital malformations have been associated with fetal phenobarbital (5· 5%) and topiramate (4· 2%) exposures. 1, 2, 4 Low risks for major congenital malformations have been associated with exposure to carbamazepine (2· 9%), lamotrigine (2· 0%), levetiracetam (2· 4%), and oxcarbazepinem (2· 2%). 1, 2, 4 Low risks for cognitive problems have been reported for carbamazepine, lamotrigine, and levetiracetam, which do not differ statistically from the unexposed population. 6, 8 The risks for most antiepileptic drugs and polytherapies are uncertain.Even less information is available for other pregnancy risks in women with epilepsy, and individual studies have resulted in varied and imprecise estimates of risks. The American Academy of Neurology (AAN) reviewed the scientific literature and published practice parameters in 2009, which stated that probably no substantially increased risk exists of caesarean delivery, late pregnancy bleeding, or premature labour and delivery in women with epilepsy who are taking antiepileptic drugs. 2 Women with epilepsy who were seizure-free during the 9 months before conception are likely to stay seizure-free during pregnancy. 2 The AAN review group concluded that strong evidence is needed to establish if there are increased risks for a variety
