  • Summary

    This chapter discusses reasonable safety measures for people with epilepsy to consider. Until recently, women with epilepsy have received little or no education on safely caring for a child. Many seizure-related injuries are preventable. It is important that women are aware of the steps they can take to reduce the risk of injury and how they can live safely with seizures. There are many different types of epilepsy. Some people need to make minor adjustments to their lives because of epilepsy, whereas others must make significant life changes. Maintaining personal safety is crucial for all women with epilepsy. For many, parenting and maintaining a household raise additional safety concerns. By working together with health-care professionals, women with epilepsy and their families can better understand their seizures, assess work and home situations, and make the adjustments necessary to manage epilepsy and lead an interesting and productive life.
