Epileptic mum's to be?
Is there any epileptic mum's to be (or mum's already)?, I only got diagnosed last year and then unexpected baby too, did anything change for you majorly other than the amount of hospital appointments. I feel somewhat overwhelmed by the sheer amount of appointments, and people involved in my pregnancy.
I'm epileptic and the only major thing that's been changed is the meds I'm on. I was slowly transitioning to a safer med before we got pregnant and as soon as I found out, I completely transitioned. There is a lot of monitoring but it's worth it in the end. I appreciate it bc the hospital I go to apparently doesn't give normal pregnancies good enough care but high risks get a TON of care so that's nice. I've had epilepsy since I was 12 and I have the complex/grand mal seizures and those are scary. I'm just really grateful bc I haven't had a seizure for a year so praying that nothing happens. I also have a neighbor who has the same seizures as me and she has 2 healthy boys. ☺️
I'm epileptic 10w1d today got my booking appointment next week. Have tonic clonic and absence seizures... But freaked out a tiredness has meant a few more absences but not had a T/C for over a year so hope I don't have one and baby stays safe. So nervous about it all!
