Other Parent's Stories

Would you like to share your story about becoming a parent with epilepsy?  I'd love to start adding other people's stories here so please do get in touch.  It can be as long or as short as you want and please feel free to send pictures to bring your story to life.  Here's a few ideas for things to cover but please feel free to write whatever you like:

• Introduce yourself – a bit about you, your family, interests and epilepsy history
• Planning your pregnancy 
• Finding out you were pregnant and the first few weeks of pregnancy
• The highs and lows of pregnancy – medical support, emotional journey
• Labour and your time in hospital
• Early days of being a parent – breastfeeding, caring for a baby, recovering after the birth
• Being a parent with epilepsy – explaining epilepsy to your child, safety
• Top tips and advice to others

If you have a blog of your own let me have the details and I'll link to it from your story.
