My husband has epilepsy from childhood and is on medication. We are planning now and im a little tension ki kya iska baby pe koi asar hoga. Anyone with similar situation pls share.
My husband also has a chronic health issue and we are planning right now, so I totally feel your concern. From my research, it shouldn't cause any problems with your pregnancy since your womb is healthy. Do share if your doctor says anything specific!
I don't think his epilepsy affects the baby directly since you are carrying the little one! Still, do ask your doctor during your next visit just to be 100% sure. While you wait, go get some delicious samosas to keep your mood happy!
According to the medical articles on my pregnancy app, paternal epilepsy does not affect pregnancy outcomes. The genetic risk of passing it on is also very minimal. It's always best to log your husband's medical history in your clinic profile so the doctor is aware.
Elders in our family say that if the mother's health is strong, the baby will be perfectly fine. But it is always best to tell your gynaecologist about your husband's epilepsy and his medications. They will guide you with the right scans, so don't take any tension.
Please do not worry too much, dear. Usually, the father's epilepsy does not affect your pregnancy or the baby's growth. Just share his medical history and medicines with your doctor during your routine checkups.
Listen, father's epilepsy has zero direct impact on your pregnancy or the baby's physical development in your womb. But some medications he takes can sometimes be discussed, and there is a very minor genetic link. Just inform your gynaecologist about his condition so they can document it properly.
