Hi Bump,

You need to see a doctor and tell them about the Lyrica now.  It is classified as a Class C drug by the FDA.  That means that the effects on humans are not clearly known.  In some animals there is a higher risk of miscarriage.

But, DO NOT stop taking the Lyrica until directed by a doctor.  To just stop could increase your seizures and you'd likely have severe anxiety problems, nausea, vomiting, etc.

Again, don't stop until you see your doctor - the risk of a seizure is too great and that can harm you AND the baby.

Baby, you NEED to see a doctor NOW. Dilantin can cause serious deformities in the baby. Cleft lips and palate, heart problems, and problems with fingers and toes are ALL reported - the odds are about 1 in 10 that your baby would have these side effects.

I've just come back from the er seen as I've been suffering from severe cramps in my lower belly since this morning . the docter said it was a flare up of my crps in my back/spinal cord which is in heard of before I'm lying in my bed in agony , he also did the fast scanner on me and he said he heard TWO heart beats that means twins. I've got an appointment in an hour with a midwife to confirm the twins and discuss my meds I was Kent to wait till Friday but the doc said to go now
