Patient's question:
This year in February, I had a seizure at night and went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The CT scan was normal. After that, I have been taking medication continuously. Two months ago, I found out I was pregnant unexpectedly and stopped taking the anticonvulsant medication. I would like to ask if it will have an impact on the child.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, antiepileptic drugs can have an impact on the fetus. In this case, you should weigh the pros and cons yourself. If it was an accidental pregnancy, it is not recommended to have the child. Wait until the symptoms are well-controlled, stop taking the medication for more than a year without recurrence, and then consider having the child. The above is advice on the question "Will epilepsy affect the child?" I hope it helps you. Wish you good health!
