Question
A young woman suffering from epilepsy, whose attacks are not frequent now, and who is pregnant, inquires whether she can get pregnant under the condition of infrequent recurrence.
Answer
Before preparing for pregnancy, the patient should discontinue medication and undergo a comprehensive health check-up, considering pregnancy only when conditions permit. As the patient is already pregnant, it is recommended to undergo fetal monitoring at a specialized hospital. When it comes to the issue of epilepsy patients getting pregnant, it requires extreme caution. Generally, it is not recommended for couples both suffering from epilepsy to get pregnant, as the likelihood of their children developing the disease is higher.
