The Pregnancy diaries

Written by mums with epilepsy for mums and mums-to-be.

Pregnancy is an amazing, life-changing, exciting, but I-really-want-this-final-week-to-pass-quickly, kind of experience! Having epilepsy? Well that’s just another thing to think about alongside choosing baby names, test driving prams and morning sickness.

If you’re a mum or mum-to-be with epilepsy and you want to know how other mums with epilepsy coped, then our mums could help you. Catherine, Clair, Faye, Ingrid, Jennifer, Nicola and Rebecca have opened up their personal pregnancy diaries to give you a little support, whenever you might need it. The Pregnancy Diaries are written by mums with epilepsy for mums and mums-to-be with epilepsy.

Good luck and best wishes,
Nicole and Louise (Epilepsy Action) Catherine, Clair, Faye, Ingrid, Jennifer, Nicola and Rebecca.
