Hi I am epileptic and have a 19mo daughter. During my first pregnancy my epilepsy was terrible, and I had many seizures in my sleep. Thankfully, I only fit when I'm asleep in bed, and so the seizures caused no harm to the baby. I realise I was extremely lucky that dd has no serious health problems, as she was exposed to several anti-epileptics whilst I was pregnant.
The prob is we would really love another baby. As soon as I'd given birth my epilepsy went back to being totally controlled and I just dont know whether to take the risk again.
Has anyone got any experiences with a 2nd or 3rd pregnancy whilst suffering with epilepsy? Were your pregnancies the same? I guess I am hoping that this time I could have a wonderful pregnancy with no seizures...
I'd be grateful to hear your experiences, don't really want to talk to family about it incase we decide not to have any more.
Thanks.
