Maternal seizures may be caused by pregnancy related hypertension (eclampsia), but if her seizures have persisted, they are from another cause.

Unless she suffered eclampsia or hypoxia or had associated head trauma, it is more likely that a separate explanation would be more likely. Subsequent episodes of altered consciousness due to epilepsy can be stabilized and controlled by modern and safe anti-epileptic drugs.
