Anyone else have epilepsy? Anyone else kind of scared for birth because of it?

Mine is triggered by sleep deprivation as well, juvenile myoclonic epilepsy. I stayed on my meds with both of my pregnancies and was closely monitored by my neurologist. No issues with either pregnancy, due 2/26 with baby 2.

What triggers yours? Mine is triggered by sleep deprivation and I know during labor you're up for hours and tired. Mine is also hereditary so im hoping it skips my sons generation.
