Question for mothers with grand mals
Hi, I am planning a baby. I am pretty well controlled but I am still very scared that I might have a grand mal while holding my baby and the thought that worries me so much is that I might have a seizure and wake and not recognize my child. I am afraid how would I react. In my post seizure state I do not recognize people for a few minutes and act on autopilot. I am compliant and calm but still very confused. I am so scared not to hurt my baby if I hear him/her crying or just see it in the crib and maybe I would want to pick it up.
Any stories are much appreciated. :)
