I haven't been posting on this blog for awhile. I do apologize for that. I do have a good reason though. I found out in February that I am pregnant again.this will be my second child.I already have a boy who's four,turning five in April. My feelings for this pregnancy is kind of mixed.
I am happy,excited,worried all at once. I don't know if I've told you this but I developed epilepsy at the age of twenty one.I take medicine for it daily,the dosage worries me because of how high it is,(its five hundred mg twice a day! ) I don't know if this medicine will affect the baby and I cannot afford to have a seizure while pregnant,that would endanger the baby for sure! And I'm worried of the baby having any other defects of any kind. My son had cataract surgery at six months old and had glaucoma shunt surgery almost right after he turned four. He has to wear thick glasses and still have to have eye pressure drops twice a day.(which he hates but willingly takes anyway.makes me proud at how he cooperates with me on it) my husband has glaucoma as well.
I'm worried that the baby might have that or might have epilepsy like me. Those that have epilepsy know that extreme stress can cause a seizure to trigger and I would definitely say that giving birth falls under the extreme stress category. My biggest worries other then mentioned above is that I might have a seizure during delivery or have one during recovery. Having seizures scare me because you are so unaware of your surroundings and you forget things.having a seizure can be described as your brain being a computer that gets so overloaded that it just shortages out and once recovered,everything you currently had on it is now lost. Epilepsy is an invisible disease. If I were to meet you out somewhere,you would have no idea that I have it just by looking at me. Its terrifying to have this. ..
Ok,I'm done rambling about my worries now. Blessed be 🌒🌕🌘 🌙🌞🌝🌚🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘
