Is carbamazepine safe in pregnancy?

I'm currently on carbamazepine for a medical condition. Now that I'm pregnant, I'm really concerned if taking carbamazepine is safe during pregnancy. Has anyone had experience with this?

I barely remember my own name these days, but I know for sure you shouldn't play around with anticonvulsant meds! Call your gynac ASAP and get professional advice.

Ghar pe aisi dawaiyan khud se mat khana, beta. Doctor babu se pooch ke hi koi dawa shuru ya band karna, apna dhyan rakho.

Yeh koi normal medicine nahi hai jo khud se le sakein. Direct doctor ke paas jao aur unhe apni pregnancy ke baare me batao, wahi safe option batayenge.

This is a serious neurological drug. You cannot stop it abruptly if you already take it, nor can you start it without doctor's supervision. Contact your doctor today.

When my toddler was in my tummy, I had to change some of my regular meds under doctor's guidance. Please consult your specialist and gynac immediately about this medicine for a safe pregnancy.
