Hi there, Welcome to HCM, Epilepsy attack during pregnancy cannot be ignored and should be a indication to meet a neurologist immediately. Epilepsy can affect the mother and baby. The mother can have repeated attacks and her epileptic medication need to be increased also rather than increasing the dosage addition of another anti epileptic drug may also be considered by the neurologist. But this would depend on her disease status. Epileptic attacks need to be controlled as they can hamper the growth of baby. Also these attacks are common during labour and proper precaution against them need to be taken during delivery. The baby needs to be evaluated for malformations such as neural tube defects and heart problems more so as she was on anitiepileptic medications as these also are known to cause defects in upto 2% of patients. Get a detailed ultrasound and fetal Echo . Also change of epileptic medication under advise of a neurologist to be done immediately . Hope this helps. Regards.
