levetiracetam may be one of the “safer” medications available if you’re pregnant and have a seizure condition, since it might not have as high of a risk of causing birth defects compared to other seizure medications. However, there is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to antiepileptic drugs(AEDs), including levetiracetam, during pregnancy. Encourage women who are taking levetiracetam during pregnancy to enroll in the North American Antiepileptic Drug (NAAED) pregnancy registry by calling 1-888-233-2334 or visiting  AED pregnancy registry
