Pregnant Women with Epilepsy and It's Relation to Future Babies

As our little girls grow older, like in my case, I came to wonder what if her seizure still attacks till the time she reached the age of adolescence. Yes, it's really hard for a mom to think of this kind of situation. Although her seizure is not appearing right after she has her maintenance, but we can never tell until when.

What if she's ready to settle down and she's pregnant?

This is the hardest part for me. Since my kid is girl, she is entitled to love and be loved. Of course, she will met a man that would truly understand her situation and later on entitled to carry a child. What will happen to a child, since she's been taking medicine for her seizure. It's still a question for me.

Although I found an article for the website that I have subscribed on @  WHAT HAPPENS TO CHILDREN EXPOSED TO ANTISEIZURE DRUGS IN WOMEN WITH EPILEPSY? but still I was not fulfilled of the trouble I have with me. But still, this really have helped. Here, take a look at the story of the effect of medications for Epilepsy.

Laser Surgery for Epilepsy - See Videos of Children Being Cured After the Surgery

 Giggling at inappropriate times.

Happy to know that epilepsy has cure now through laser surgery. But question is:

Does this laser surgery applicable only for gelastic seizures, and appear as spontaneous, uncontrollable and often maniacal giggles or laughter?


Never knew that epilepsy has also this kind of as quoted in the article: " a rare form of epilepsy called Hypothalamic Hamartoma (HH) in which a non-cancerous lesion wreaks havoc in a highly sensitive area near the brain's stem. HH affects just on in one million children and, too often, the laughter goes undiagnosed."


Still searching and waiting for the latest treatment in order to combat epilepsy.


My kid is still under her maintenance and everyday I am thinking of her future. What she will become later on. Will she, be relieved for this kind of situation when she turns older? Right now, she is just 1 and 9 months young. Taking her Dilantin while she's at her 4 or 6months, I almost forgot her exact age, sorry for that guys.

Now, Davey’s 8months young. Glad she’s getting bigger. She’s restless or shall I say, hyperactive. I don’t know why, maybe because she is a kid, excited of everything she see’s lovely. Or maybe because of the effect of the drug she’s been taking as her maintenance. It’s a Dilantin.
