EPILEPSY AND PREGNANCY: MY PRE-CONCEPTION COUNSELLING EXPERIENCE
18 Apr 2017
When it comes to pregnancy, counselling isn't the first thing you think about. However, when you have epilepsy, or other disability that may affect your pregnancy, you start thinking about pregnancy a long time before the actual conception takes place. With disability, risk follows and this can be a very scary prospect. That's why we went to the doctors a few years before we even started to try to conceive. We wanted all the details about how Epilepsy could affect not only our future child, but also myself. I've decided to share my experience with pre-conception counselling as I didn't really find much information about what to expect when we started exploring our options.
I thought the best way to talk about my experience is to break it down in to the different appointments that took place. I will start with the discussion I had with my husband, and then talk about how the appointments went with the various doctors we saw.
