Studies presented at the 2016 American Epilepsy Society Scientific Sessions examined pregnancy issues in women with epilepsy. One study looked at predictors of unintended pregnancy, another discussed antiepileptic drug prescribing patterns, and two studies reported on specific drugs, brivaracetam and lamotrigine, taken during pregnancy.Â
