This data article presents supplementary material for our report “Role of obstetricians in promoting pregnancy-related knowledge among women with epilepsy in Japan” (Egawa et al. 2020). To provide more effective preconception counseling and perinatal care, we surveyed the attitude of epileptologists and obstetricians about pregnancy-related issues in women with epilepsy (WWE). Obstetricians said they needed information from epileptologists about seizure for management of WWE. Half of epileptologists did not feel the need to communicate with obstetricians before their patients’ pregnancy; they only contacted obstetricians after their patients became pregnant, and they only referred patients to an obstetrician if requested by the patient.
