The percentage change of you baby or child of developing Epilepsy is between
3% - 5% . That’s if this info. hasn’t change. This information was given to me about 20+ yrs ago.
I have 2 daughters and neither one has Epilepsy.
I also have two sons without epilepsy. I think it is because my seizures are not hereditary. I am glad and happy to for whatever reason. Also these were not planned childbirths.
It depends on how you got your epilepsy. If you got it from your genes. This can be a problem. This is why I am not having children. This is something that my cousins and siblings ignored, and they are all having to deal with. All the children are now having epilepsy in one way or another. If yours came from an accident or from a bug bite or any other way then having children is not a problem. Please have the children and love them!
Neither of my two children - a boy and a girl - have epilepsy
If it hasn’t change , I remember being told the if you want a child and you have Epilepsy, there is a 3% - 5% chance of your child being diagnosed with Epilepsy.
I have Epilepsy and I have 2 healthy daughters and they don’t have Epilepsy.
