[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 393404, member: 1991"] Thank you for the information. daughter in law is epileptic (fully controlled, but on Tegretol) but she and difficult child 1 say they do not want to have children. However, if that changes I will quietly do my best to ensure as safe as pregnancy as possible. I would be interested to know the metabolic pathway that causes the increased risk - is it affecting the rate of folate uptake, for example? Would merely increasing your intake of folic acid reduce the added risk, or is this an entirely independent pathway? I think I might need to do more research. Marg [/QUOTE]
