I have an new medical condition, I've been having problems with seizures.I have had about 5 in past few years. But my most recent has been about 3-4 weeks ago and I don't know what is causing it. IT'S VERY SCARY. MY husband is freaked out with me to, how do I handle it,and is my baby in danger?
The term "high-risk pregnancy" describes a case where a pregnant woman has one or more factors that could put her or the fetus at risk for health problems.
I honestly don't believe that it's capable for a fetus to have a seizure. I'm sure that your baby is just having hiccups.
Pregnancy Category D is given to medicines that have shown clear evidence of risk to the fetus in studies. Pregnancy Category D is a stronger warning than a pregnancy Category C classification. However, a pregnancy Category D medicine may still be given to a pregnant woman if the health care provider believes that the benefits to the woman outweigh the possible risks to the unborn child.
Klonopin was given a pregnancy Category D rating due to the problems it caused in animal studies.
my boyfriend has epilepsy, taking Keppra, i am miscarrying in 5th week of pg, can it be somehow related?
Has anyone had what felt to them like their fetus was having seizures in the womb? This isn't something that is well researched as it is typically brushed off as hiccups because it's the "unknown", and what research has been done had negative outcomes.
However, I've heard of women being brushed off and then have their babies have a couple seizures (they grow out of it) and then their doctor takes them seriously and asks about fetal movement.

Last year after marriage the frequency increased. Thrice in 3 months. We went to a different doc. He said that he had primary generalized seizure or a right right frontal focus with hemispheric bisynchrony. He also said that carbamazepine is not right medication for it so slowly changed it to kepra. My husband dint have seizures for 5 months. After carbamazepine was completely stopped and he was completely on kepra , he got seizure. He takes 3700 MG ok kepra per day.
Then in the early evening, he had a major seizure. This time, he had three of them in a row, and afterward, was back to lethargic. As money is tight because of Christmas, we had no money to take him to the vet until today. He has been lethargic ever since Saturday morning, will only eat beef and rice that I make him and not much of it, he's drinking some water and using the bathroom outside like normal, but all he wants to do all day is sleep. It's very sad. Sooo not himself!
The vet said she had an epileptic seizure and gave her some Valium for me to give her if she has another seizure. All has been well until tonight(10-13-08). I was reading on the net that dogs do not have epilepsy, it is strictly a human condition. I want to believe my vet but.... Will you please explain to me what causes seizures in dogs and what I can di to prevent it?
Animal studies have shown that the drug crosses to the developing fetus, but the danger to a developing human fetus is not known.
You should talk with your obstetrician, or the doctor that manages your medication, about the possibility of using alternative medications that have a better understood safety profile. It is often possible to switch to a medication that will work well for you and be safer for the baby.
Hello, congratulations on your pregnancy. I had fibroids with my first pregnancy, however they didn't develop until late into my 2nd trimester. I had about 4 of them--the largest was the size of a plum. Fortunately, they shrunk later in my third trimester, and eventually they dissolved. In your case, I don't know if your fibroids will be an obstacle in how your pregnancy continues.
I have no idea what forum to even post in - or where to ask. I had an ultrasound done yesterday - 33 weeks pregnant (baby girl) - baby has one kidney 4.85cm (very large compared to other one) - obgyn says no cysts or dilation appear on ultrasound. Other kidney is "normal" size.
OBGYN says it's a "first" for her and could be (she mentioned she doesn't really know !
Bowel distension in a fetus could mean any of several problems that all have a common origin: some kind of blockage. Things that can cause this include (in no particular order):
--imperforate anus (as your doctor suggested)
--an ATRESIA of the large or small intesting (this is a "gap" in the bowel)
--meconium ileus (from cystic fibrosis) or plug (i.e.
