A member asked:
My sister is pregnant and she has epilepsy and a bad kidney. what can she do to make sure her and the baby stay healthy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prenatal care: Selecting medicines with the least chance of hurting the baby while controlling her epilepsy is very important. Maintaining proper diet and rest while following her docs suggestions is also important. Once you do these things, only time will tell if there will be problems ahead, but you have done all there is to be prepared.
