Hi all, 4 months after radiation and I'm "accidentally" pregnant with #4. The next scan is on hold until after baby, so feb 2010. My last scan was clear, so here's crossing everything for february. I also got my licence back 2 weeks ago, a year after the surgery to remove the tumour! woohoo, you forget what its like to be independent....

Anyhow, this is just a warm fuzzy post. I'm still on dilantin 330mg and hoping to change to topamax in the new year. The medication has been all over the place due to hormonal changes, but I'm not taking the risk of a tonic clonic while pregnant.

Elaine. 1 year on from surgery and full of the joys of developing life.
29 weeks pregnant

Hi Elaine. Congratulations!! You and your baby are in my thoughts and prayers. February seems so far away, but it really is not. Take care of yourself.
