Can Absence Epilepsy Cause Any Problem During Pregnancy?

Hi, I had a deep brain stem cavernoma removed a week after I gave birth by c- section in 2010. I developed absent epilepsy I don t have violent seizures and because of the numerous brain haemorrhages that I had prior to removal I am used to being Dizzy / tired etc. Now I am pregnant with my third child. I still daily have severe head pain / right side weakness etc. should this pregnancy be treated as complicated?? Thanks for your time.

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum
Pregnancy with any of the diseases associated is called high risk pregnancy and that too its third.
As you are saying that you have weakness and headache now, please visit your doctor(gynaecologist and neurologist) for opinion and medications required for your continuation of pregnancy.
All the best.
