Seizures and Pregnancy

By Geoffrey B.
I have a friend who just became pregnant and she has epilepsy also known as seizures.  So I researched a few websites, like WedMd and MAYOCLINIC.ORG and I found a topic called "Seizures and Pregnancy."  In my research, I found that during pregnancy seizures can cause fatal heart rate deceleration and preterm labor.  In another statement, every woman reacts to pregnancy differently but women who have seizures the seizures remain the same. Lastly, before you consider having a baby, schedule an appointment with your doctor, take your anti-seizure medication the same way you have been taken them. A tip, eat a health diet and avoid smoking, alcohol and illegal drugs.
