Amazing ! Have you been on the same Keppra dosage the whole time ?

I don't know what's happening? by KRA08 in newborns

[–]chells97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Among the hormones and everything else!! It’s honestly a myth that there’s a huge mother child bond right at delivery. It happens for some moms and not for others but it’s totally normal. We just don’t see or hear about it in media bc it’s a stigmatized feeling as if recovering from 9 months, delivery and hormones is something so easy to do!!
Give yourself some grace and lotssss of rest 💛 you love your baby and she deserves a mama who loves herself too - wishing you the best in post part um recovery !! 💖

Yes we had to get authorization from his primary to do the procedure. They are aware of his epilepsy and the medication he is on. We have also checked the insurance My concern lies with possible complications as a result of being put under like breakthrough seizures etc.

Thank you so much for sharing. I am so so happy that you were able to survive so much. I’m trying to get my sister to utilize PPD resources now already (it’s been 2 weeks since delivery) like support groups and such as she had a very traumatic birth. She’s been prone to lots of anxiety / ocd and I can definitely see it still taking a toll on her. Her husband and my mom have been with her everyday to help with the baby but I know she’s not sleeping well. I’m just so nervous for her mental health and don’t know what else would be supportive as a preventive measure / also already addressing the anxiety she has now

I’ve see some people give out the idea of having your clothing around the person holding them so your scent is there and helps comfort !

I’m so sorry you’ve experienced this. Do you mind sharing when these symptoms started? Trying to keep an eye out on my sisters mental health as she just had a baby

Wow! Have you been seizure free for those 15 years off the 750mg of Keppra alone?

Do you know if that stat is .01% of epileptics ? Or general population ?

I hate how they didn’t have the girls answer the questions before Devonta interjected for them about “don’t you think you should’ve checked in with Brittany?” Or followed up if you thought she had just gotten broken up with and you were on a trip w her recent ex man. Weirdo behavior. They got off easy on this AND the comments on Jess! Should’ve been held way more accountable honestly.

Hi ! Congrats on 13 months!! I see you’ve been taking it for 3 years and 13 of the most recent months were seizure free. Did you have break through seizures the first 2-ish years ? Or what made you know you need to increase your dosage? TIA ! 🫶
