Since you are expecting this is not the time to change any medications as there is a risk of breakthrough seizure. You need a simple EEG to look for any brain spike activity . After delivery you should definitely recosider medication change as gardenal or phenobarbitone can be changed with a newer generation Antiepileptic which have better side effect profile.
