Today is going to be a bad day. Already had some seizures and I'm wide awake at 6:30 am. Always a recipe for seizures throughout the day. Not to mention I haven't really had any Grand Mals this pregnancy and I'm almost 6 months in. Last pregnancy this happened I had seizures all day. Think when my sis gets up I'm gonna drop my daughter off with her dad and go to the ER. I ended up in the hospital most of my last 3 months, my last pregnancy because of seizures. And I'm not on meds this time around.

Sounds like ur neurologist needs his/her brain examined... (oh the irony lol)
 
Lol thanks. I always thought he was on drugs and not the prescription kind.

Great mom. I applaud you for not taking drugs during pregnancy. You may want to consult your doctor about ketogenic diet that can protect you from seizures and has neuroprotective benefits. Additionally. coconut oil also prevents seizures.

Jay1, let me remind you that while you might have had luck with coconut oil, not everyone will. Much like the pharmaceuticals, not every one works for everybody. Some sz meds are considered safe during pregnancy. For me, I'd rather stick with meds that have been proven/formulated to help with seizures.

I'm sorry you're having seizures today. I hope you get relief quickly. ***hugs***.
 
Well I have had several at the hospital so I'm admitted and doing a 24 hr VEEG
