Edam - no, well there is a midwife led unit, which I would be happier with, bt its at least 40 mins away on bad roads, plus no public transport - and my husband doesn't drive (no medical reason - just never learnt and hates it every time he tried!)
I actually only live 5mins from the hospital, so home in a way would be closer to help than the midwife unit!
Am going to look into all the options - really useful reading this thread though, as many people seem to have had a similar experience to me, having only had intermittent seizures - but classed as epilepsy. I never really found anyone else that had anything similar - mine just began, then stopped a year later for no reason, and as I say, seem to occure rarely, but due to stress and pain. going to look into hypnobirthing possibly tailored to me to enable me to stay calm and possibly avoid having a seizure...if its possible! the responses here have been really useful though - thanks to the OP!
