Summary

This chapter discusses the seizure-related risks of parenting a small child. It offers reasonable and helpful suggestions to make a home environment that ensures child's safety. There are several special safety issues for pregnant women with epilepsy. For the most part, women with epilepsy are no longer discouraged from marrying or having children. However, they and their health-care providers are still concerned that seizures could interfere with the mother's ability to provide care for her infant or young child. Children should be educated about epilepsy and know how to respond if their mother has a seizure. Parenting is one of the most exciting, fulfilling, and stressful experiences in one's life. Although women with epilepsy have special issues that need to be addressed and given thought prior to having children, they too can experience the many challenges and rewards of motherhood.
