Is there danger in not getting enough sleep?
my husband has epilepsy and only has seizures in his sleep. needless to say, i have a lot of trouble sleeping. i know that this is one of the main things that the doc tells you to do as far as pre-natal care. i've had one miscarriage, so i'm a little worried. can anyone tell me if there really is danger in not getting enough sleep? thanks!

Re: Is there danger in not getting enough sleep?
My understanding is that sleep deprivation can cause a lot of health issues, but I have no idea if it is linked to m/c. Most m/c's are a result of a genetic problem in the developing embryo, which is ususally unrelated to anything the mother has done during her pg. So I would try not to be too concerned at this point. You probably don't want to add stress to your situation, if at all possible.
As a side note, though, isn't there anything that can be done medication-wise to control your husband's sleep seizures? That seems unfortunate to me, that they can't be controlled by medication. That would solve a lot of issues for both of you. GL to you.
I think you really need to find a way to get a good nights sleep. It is important in pre-natal care and your health and well-being in general.
