Epilepsy & Pregnancy Medical Consortium

Epilepsy & Pregnancy Medical Consortium

The Epilepsy & Pregnancy Medical Consortium (EPMC) is dedicated to empowering people with epilepsy of childbearing age to advocate for their own care and helping clinicians to successfully meet the needs of their patients with epilepsy. In a single, reliable resource, we are unifying, standardizing, and clarifying the information available around pregnancy and epilepsy. This includes giving doctors the knowledge and guidance to make informed decisions about pregnancy care, while promoting the best possible health outcomes for both their patients and their patients' children. The information provided addresses all aspects of pregnancy care, from contraception to prenatal planning, to breastfeeding and postpartum care, and considers the needs of both people with epilepsy and their children.
