Mimi Callanan is an Epilepsy Nurse Specialist at the Stanford Comprehensive Epilepsy Center. She has spent her career caring for people with epilepsy and is familiar with the concerns common to any new parents with epilepsy. In this chapter, she discusses the seizure-related risks of parenting a small child and offers reasonable and helpful suggestions to make a home environment that ensures your child's safety. I think you'll find this chapter reassuring. In my practice I have often met women with epilepsy who were told early in their lives that they should not have children because they would not be fit parents. Some women have carried that advice around inside themselves for years without ever challenging it. It is hoped that this chapter will make clear that being a parent is hard and wonderful for everyone. Women with epilepsy have special challenges that require some additional accommodation – but, after that, it's every Mom for herself!
