Question
What impact can an epileptic seizure during pregnancy have on the fetus? Can the medication used to treat epilepsy be continued? Are there any other precautions to be taken?
Answer
Epileptic seizures during pregnancy can potentially lead to oxygen deprivation, which may have adverse effects on the fetus over time. If the frequency of seizures is low and symptoms are mild, it may be possible to avoid medication treatment. However, antiepileptic drugs pose certain risks to the fetus. It is recommended to maintain good rest, avoid overexertion and colds, maintain a positive attitude, and try to minimize medication use.
