International Epilepsy Day
Epilepsy affects many women of reproductive age — and with the right care, a healthy pregnancy is absolutely possible.
Planning ahead and working closely with your healthcare team ensures safety for both mother and baby.
Important considerations for women with epilepsy include:
• Reviewing medication before pregnancy
• Monitoring seizure control throughout pregnancy
• Folic acid supplementation guidance
• Regular antenatal check‑ups
• Coordinated care between your gynaecologist and neurologist
• Planning for a safe delivery
Every woman’s journey is unique.
With personalised care and early planning, women with epilepsy can experience safe, supported and empowering pregnancies.
