Question
Do pregnant women with epilepsy risk having deformed babies?
Answer
Epilepsy can affect normal nerve cells, alter cell division and neuroglial cell changes, and impact the super-energetic environment of other organs in the body. When pregnant women experience severe epilepsy symptoms, it may lead to the fetus aspirating amniotic fluid in the womb, which could cause respiratory difficulties for the baby. Therefore, doctors closely monitor the fetus’s condition, and both the mother and baby should undergo regular checks after birth. Additionally, it is important to maintain a regular lifestyle, get enough sleep, keep a positive mood, and rest well, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. Pregnant women should also ensure they take their medication on time every day.
