Abstract		Women with epilepsy have fewer children than other women. This may be partially a personal choice, but research has indicated that women wich epilepsy have a higher rate of menstrual cycle irregularities and other gynecological problems that may interfere with fertility. It is important that such women consult a gynecologist (obstetrician) and neurologist before becoming pregnant. Seizures during pregnancy can be harmful to both fetus and mother. The use of antiepileptic drugs during pregnancy has been associated with an increased risk of congenital abnormalities in the fetus.The delivery per se, however, is not more complicated. In most women with epilepsy, there are also no reservations with respect to breastfeeding, even though a small quantity of antiepileptic drugs passes into the mother's milk, since as a rule this does not affect the baby.
Summary		Ženske z epilepsijo rodijo manj otrok kot ostale. To je sicer lahko osebna odločitev, vendar raziskave kažejo, da imajo ženske z epilepsijo več motenj menstrualnega ciklusa in drugih ginekoloških težav, ki so povezane z rodnostjo. Zato je pred zanositvijo pomemben posvet z ginekologom (porodničarjem) in lečečim nevrologom. Epileptični napadi med nosečnostjo lahko škodijo tako materi kot plodu. Jemanje protiepileptičnih zdravil je povezano z določenim tveganjem za nastanek prirojenih okvar ploda. Porod poteka običajno po naravni poti in brez dodatnih zapletov. Običajno tudi ni zadržkov za dojenje. Določena, manjša količina zdravila se nahaja tudi v materinem mleku, vendar to praviloma ne vpliva na otroka.
