Women who have epilepsy and become
pregnant develop a higher risk for
complications than women who don't have
epilepsy. These complications include the
possibility that seizures may occur more
often. Although most women who have
epilepsy have healthy babies, there are
also some risks here, too. Babies of
mothers with epilepsy have the risk of
being stillborn, having an early birth,
experiencing delays in development and
growth, as well as the possibility of
birth defects caused by the medicine used
to treat epilepsy. However, the risks of
not taking the medicine are higher for the
baby, including physical injury and
development delay. It is possible that
there be changes in the dosage of the
medicine you take, in consultation with
your gynecologist and current doctor.
