I'm Being Asked If I Want To Be Induced At 39 Weeks Pregnancy Is This Normal?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Im currently 33 weeks pregnant and have very mild seizures (petite mal) which I've been having around 1 a week.
I've been asking to think about being induced at 39 weeks due to me being epileptic but can't see any evidence that this is normal. Has anyone else had this?
Thanks

When I was pregnant I was induced once out of 5 pregnancies my first only because i had preeclampsia if you have that your dictors concerned if not you will be fine pregnancy is a stresser but to make a baby come earlier I like to leave that to when its due you will know.
