How the Registry Works
Self-enroll online here or call TOLL FREE 888.233.2334 as soon as possible after you learn you are pregnant. (15-minute phone call)
An important component of participation is releasing your medical records from your pregnancy and your baby’s medical records for the first 6 months of life. In order for us to obtain medical records, we will need your signed authorization. We will e-mail authorization forms to you after the first and last interviews. Your participation is secure and confidential.

Thank you.
I participated in the NA AED Pregnancy Registry as recommended by my OB because I was prescribed Gabapentin at 16 weeks pregnant following a laparoscopy surgery. It was a painless process to participate in the study and it was nice to learn more about the medication.

Your Identity Will Remain Confidential
It is very important that you feel comfortable when enrolling in the Registry; therefore, all findings will be filed in a database without mentioning names. Insurance companies, your doctors, and the pharmaceutical firms supporting the Registry DO NOT HAVE ACCESS to any of this information. We truly appreciate your interest in helping other women and their babies in the future
Keeping in Touch
Because the Registry will be calling you to conduct these interviews, it is very important that you keep us informed if any of your contact information changes while you are participating in the Registry. If you change your phone number or address, please call us TOLL FREE 888.233.2334 to let us know how to reach you!
