Levetiracetam in Pregnancy: Preliminary Experience From the UK Epilepsy and Pregnancy Register
Neurol 67:1876-1879, Hung,S.,et al, 2006
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
It is not known whether the antiepileptic drug (AED) levetiracetam can be used safely in human pregnancy. As part of a study to determine the risks of major congenital malformations (MCMs) for infants exposed to AEDs in utero, we identified all cases exposed to levetiracetam. Three of 117 exposed pregnancies had an MCM (2.7%; 95% CI 0.9% to 7.7%); all 3 were exposed to other AEDs.
