A member asked:

Does having anxiety disorder while pregnant increase the risk of having baby with infantile spasms?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No increased risk: There is no relationship between infantile spasms and maternal anxiety during pregnancy. There can be affects on a developing fetus with certain medications taken by mother during the pregnancy, some of which are used for psychiatric disorders. Make sure your treating physician is aware that you are expecting a baby. Best wishes
