Hello,
As per my clinical experience, prevention is best possible intervention during pregnancy with:
- Supplementation with folic acid
- Balanced nutrtious diet
- Avoidance of smoking, alcohol if consuming
The anti convulants use during pregnnacy is highly related to developmental malformation as cleft palate, spinal cord disorders and others.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
