Getting a scheduled C-Section
Mon, 03/30/2015 - 12:55My doctors have strongly suggested getting a c-section because of my Epilepsy. I agree. The only thing I am worried about is having a seizure while my scar is healing. Any mommys out there who have experienced this? My simple and complex partial seizures can be rather violent, although I do get an aura long enough to know to lie down or get help. I do arch my back and the thought of stretching the healing area and stiches seems horrifying and painful!
