There is little doubt about the relationship between hormonal changes and seizure activity (either frequency or intensity). Some women report decreased seizures during pregnancy while others report increased seizures.

Seizures can be caused by hormonal imbalances and it is essential you contact your Doctor to discuss pregnancy issues further. Medications can also affect one's pregnancy so doctor's advice is needed.
