Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding experience of women with epilepsy in Me’enit community, South West Ethiopia
The findings imply the need for special attention to WWE before, during, and after pregnancy to improve maternal and child health. Behavioral change communication needs to target the knowledge gap and misconception about epilepsy by the family and surrounding community to reduce stigma and discrimination against epileptic women and associated maternal mortality.
