Epilepsy and Pregnant


by: STEPHANIE on Wed, May 02 2007

About six years ago, I had what you would call a grand mal seizure Since then I haven’t experienced another one, but I am still having what the dr.’s call light seizures. My right ear will close up, I get dizzy, off balance, and real clammy. Now I am 5 months pregnant (my first baby) and the dr.’s want to put me on medicine and I haven’t been on med.’s since last year and only for a month, because they were making me feel funny. Prior to that I hadn’t been on them for at least 2-3 years. I am so scared this med will affect my baby.
