Epilepsy And Pregnancy Issues Posted: 06-07-04 09:56am
I had a right frontal temporal lobe
craniotomy 3 months ago. It has so far
rid of my seizures, yet the kicker is that
I want to get pregnant again. My doctors
cannot say whether my seizures will come
back or not. Has anyone had a baby
after brain surgery or dealt with hormones
triggering seizures in pregnancy? My 1st
pregnancy brought on major seizures.
Supposedly, the damaged part of my brian
is now gone. Any similar situations?
(far fetched, I know:)

Three months is awfully soon. I would
think that your body needs more time to
heal.

3 months does does seem quick, yet I have
been running around like normal since the
2 month mark. The doctors told me 4-6
months, yet I don't think they would hold
me back now that they have seen my
comeback.

I was feeling great after my surgery too.
About 3 months later, I started having
seizures again.
Take it easy.

Sorry to hear that everything came back so
soon. Were you given any explanation?
What kind of surgery did you have? I
would love to hear about your story. As
you know in life, waiting does not always
agree with life's timeline. What to
do???? I get my license back this week-a
good start!
