'I'm glad I didn't let the fear stop me'
Debbie McCrudden was diagnosed with epilepsy in 2014 and was worried about having children.
Epilepsy, external is a common condition that affects the brain.
About 22,000 people in Northern Ireland have it and most can have normal lives if their seizures are well controlled.
Anti-epileptic drugs can be very effective in stopping or reducing the frequency of seizures, but some AEDs can harm an unborn baby.
When Debbie wanted to start trying for a baby, she was worried about how to navigate pregnancy as her seizures were not under control.
