Pregnancy class C: Lamictal is classified as class c for pregnancy. This means that risks for a fetus cannot be ruled out if a mother takes this medication during pregnancy. It's best to speak with your obstetrician in regards to the best choice, as certain benefits may outweigh any risks.

Tell your Dr. !: First of all tell your dr! second, you're 19 and you want a third child?!? Why? Maybe it's time to just take a break?Lamictal is probably the best mood stabilizer to take if you must take one during pregnancy, but pregnancy is also not the best time to be experimenting with meds. Please discuss with your dr asap!
