Question
Can epilepsy patients have a natural childbirth? Should they be admitted to the hospital? What kind of assistance are they looking for?
Answer
The specific mode of delivery should be determined based on the individual circumstances of the pregnant woman, each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. It is recommended that this decision should be made after careful clinical diagnosis and examination. It is best to be hospitalized for close observation at this time, and cesarean section may be necessary if needed. For epilepsy patients, choosing cesarean section is generally safer. Epileptic seizures during the natural childbirth process can pose risks to both the mother and the child. The specific mode of delivery should also be based on the patient’s own wishes. Wishing you all the best.
