Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
It all depends on the medicines you are taking, most of anti-epileptic drugs are not safe in pregnancy.
Its better that you meet your neurologist to manipulate the regimen which is then safe in pregnancy.
Once you stabilize on the new drugs, only then plan pregnancy.
In case you have further questions you can consult me on health care magic forum and i will be happy to help
