In their own words: Focussing on Mothers with Epilepsy

Sarah Harney-Levine, a postgraduate student at Teesside University, is looking for women to help with her research into mothers with epilepsy in the UK.

The research aims to gather information from women with epilepsy who have children under ten years old. This is to gain insights into their experiences of how their epilepsy has possibly affected or was affected by them having children.

Participants will be sent a blank paper or electronic diary to complete daily over a four week period. This will include questions about their experiences of pregnancy, childbirth and motherhood. It will also give them a chance to write about their current experiences in their own words. 

It is hoped that by doing this research the medical professional will benefit from hearing about real life experiences of women living with epilepsy day-to-day.
