Have you talked to your doctor about it?

According to the U.S. FDA Phenytoin has shown clear risk to the baby, when taken by a pregnant mother. However, seizures could also be dangerous to your baby, so you need to talk to your doctor and decide whether or not you should continue with this medication, or perhaps switch to something else.
