pregnancy and epilipepsy

I recently found out I am about 5 weeks pregnant,  I have an appt to see my OB in 2 weeks. I am also an epileptic with complex-partial seizures, I am not on any meds for it right now and I know anything I could take would be unhealthy for the baby. Does anyone know what I can do to try and help? Having seizures and preggo symptoms is just too much and I feel awful all the time. I can't sleep, I have constant headaches, and I throw up when I have a seizure. Please help!!

I know it's really dangerous to have a seizure while pregnant because it cuts off the oxygen to the baby my Dr said. I'd call and ask your Dr

Im so sorry! I know how bad seizures can get and I can only imagine how awful you feel. I wish I knew of natural ways to ease seizures,  I just dont. I hope you can hold out until you get to your doctors. Have you tried calling the office and speaking to a nurse? They may have some pointers or advice.
