Hello,please don't use short forms.she should be on only one antiepileptic drug, two or more drugs can harm fetus. Epilepsy during pregnancy can pose some unique concerns. However, most women who have epilepsy deliver healthy babies.Sleep deprived ,metabolically disturbed woman will have more chance of attack, she should take regular medicines , emotional support is needed. Better to shift her a week before date for monitoring .
