Many women with epilepsy are concerned about the possibility of seizures during labor and delivery. Studies have shown that only about two percent of women with epilepsy have seizures during labor and delivery, so epilepsy is not a necessary indication for a cesarean section in women. However, it is important to take your medication regularly, go to a regular hospital at the time of delivery, and inform your obstetrician of your condition so they can be prepared for the unexpected so that if something happens, you can receive prompt treatment to ensure the safety of you and your child.
