Seizures in pregnancy may risk the health of both mother and fetus. Epileptic women should ideally plan pregnancies after counseling by their primary care givers. New-onset seizures and any increase in seizure frequency or severity should be promptly evaluated. Eclampsia and status epilepticus represent life-threatening conditions that demand urgent multidisciplinary management.
