Seizures with complicated migraine 11 days after childbirth?

My first thought is epilepsy..

I just did a little research using google and apparently epilepsy can either be a result of a problem occurring during the pregnancy (eg. bleeding in the brain) or can be worsened (this is assuming the person already had epilepsy) by the fluctuating hormones during pregnancy.

Maybe the person had very mild undiagnosed epilepsy before pregnancy? There are very mild forms that don%26#039;t feature a %26#039;typical%26#039; seizure so are hard to diagnose.

This question is taken from the epilepsy foundation site, I thought it was sort of relevant:

QUESTION:

I began having seizure-like activity after the birth of my only son. I remain conscious, but have severe motor activity and my speech is often impaired. The activity lasts from seconds to 25 minutes. I have yet to be formally diagnosed. Is there a trend or condition where women begin having seizures after childbirth? I did have an epidural.

ANSWER:

I doubt that the epidural had anything to do with your seizures but the pregnancy possibly did. The first step is to get a firm diagnosis. This generally involves seeing a neurologist and getting an EEG and an MRI. You may be having epileptic seizures or even nonepileptic seizures. Nonepileptic seizures can arise with heart rhythm disturbances, hypoglycemia, as a symptom of severe stress or from other causes. If these are epileptic seizures, it is possible that the hormone changes in epilepsy set off an underlying epilepsy predisposition. Also, you must be checked with an MRI of the brain to see if there was any bleeding or other events during pregnancy that might account for the seizures.
