Not at all: You are feeling baby moving inside and don't have to worry, but discuss it with your obstetrician at next visit.

I have epilepsy. I quit drinking alcohol. I couldn't sleep last night and kept having seizure auras, shakes, panic. I feel if I do not just drink, that I won't sleep and will have a grand mal seizure. Should I taper off instead of cold turkey?
