Hi,
MRI of the brain is safe in pregnancy. MRI doesnt have any harmful Rays like Xray or CT,so go for the MRI ,as it is important for you to control the seizures.
Repeated seizures can harm the fetus ,thus proper control using correct drug in proper dose as advised by your neurologist is essential.Also take Folic acid 5 mg as women with epilepsy are more to having babies with Neural tube defects(brain and spine abnormality).
