The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the low glycemic index diet in pregnant people with epilepsy. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is the low glycemic index tolerable in pregnant people with epilepsy? * Does the low glycemic index alter seizure frequency in pregnant people with epilepsy? * Does the low glycemic index alter the gut bacteria \& associated metabolic pathways in pregnant people with epilepsy? Participants will start the low glycemic index diet during pregnancy and will provide stool and blood samples a maximum of 3 times during study duration. Researchers will compare pregnant people with epilepsy on the diet to pregnant people with epilepsy not on a structured diet plan to see if tolerability, seizure frequency, and gut bacteria composition \& metabolites differ.
