If i have epilepsy which causes grand mal tonic clonic seizures, does that mean i shouldn't have children?

Something to considr: The important issue to consider is what type of medication it takes to keep you safe and what potential effect that might have on your baby. Some of the seizure medications are compatible with pregnancy and have minimal effect on a fetus.Others are somewhat toxic. Confer with your treating physicians to see what your options are.

Not necessarily: Partly depends on the cause of your seizures. Speak to your neurologist to determine if you have an epilepsy syndrome that might be inherited. With that information, you can make a decision. there are medications that can be taken during pregnancy that may control your seizures without endangering a fetus. your neurologist should have that information.
