Approximately 2.5 million people in the U.S. suffer from epilepsy; of these, more than one million are women of child-bearing age. With concerns about everything from medication-related birth defects to falls during seizures, many of these women are fearful of having children. The good news is that, with proper prenatal care, more than 90% will deliver healthy babies.

Epilepsy and Pregnancy gives readers the basic facts they need to help them make medical decisions throughout preconception, pregnancy, labor, delivery, and the early days after childbirth. Topics include preconception, fertility, pregnancy risks, risks to the fetus, nutrition, keeping fit, what to expect during pregnancy, fetal development, and labor and delivery.

In addition, the book includes guidelines for the use of antiepileptic drugs during pregnancy, recommendations and questions to ask their neurologist, recommended daily allowances by age group, glossary, and much more. Epilepsy and Pregnancy is an essential guide for any woman who suffers from epilepsy and desires to have a child.

Review:

Great for when your trying and expecting

I was really impressed with this book. There are a lot of questions when you are wanting to have a baby and you have epilepsy and this is the best book I've found. It gives you information in layman's terms which I found fantastic. It doesn't scare you from having a baby and gives you great stories from other people's experiences. I would recommend and pass on this book to anyone I knew that was trying to have a family in my condition. GET IT!!

Review:

Extremely Poor and Precious Little At That

I waited some eight months to obtain a copy of this book -- eight months of my first pregnancy. It wasn't worth the wait. There is so little substantive information in this book tailored to pregnant women with epilepsy that I could have written the book myself. For example, except for the single statement that women should check with their doctors about whether their anti-epilepsy drugs are contraindicated, the chapter on breastfeeding features only general information on how to breastfeed an infant and offers nothing specifically about the breastfeeding problems of women with epilepsy. The chapter entitled "After Delivery" provides safety tips such as "Store medications in childproof containers" and "Use guards on stoves and cookers." For this we need a guide for women with epilepsy? Specific information for women with epilepsy throughout the rest of the book is largely common sense as well and offered in most pregnancy or epilepsy books. This is a complete waste of money.
