I've been having seizers my whole life, the first time when I was born. Don't have them any more so I hope that I can be taking off before me and my boyfriend start trying to have are first kid. I don't know why it's hard to tell people about that I have to take meds for seizers. The biggest thing of taking meds. How will I be able to taking my meds if need to when I am pregnant with are first, and it won't do anything to are baby?
Welcome to our family.
How long have you been seizure free? Have you considered the fact that you are on meds & that is the reason you are seizure free? My Motto: If it ain't broke, don't fix it! I have been seizure free for almost 25 yrs. I had a child while on meds. The best the Dr would do was Lower them. Having a seizure while PG is more dangerous to the child & you, then the risk of med side effects. A Lot of women have had 'Normal' children while on meds. Your Ob/Gyn & Neuro Need to be communicating, when you proceed to get PG. It is, also, recommended that you start Folic Acid B4 conceiving. Having a Hard Time telling people? That's Sad! Lack of Public Knowledge is pitiable. Why is there such a Lack of Awareness? ? Becuz, people are afraid to talk to the General Public &/or seek others' w/ Epilepsy where they Can talk about it.
