So I am 38 weeks today and prior to pregnancy suffered from "body tremors", similar to seizures... I fainted 3 times early pregnancy and last night I collapsed on my knees. The hospital I go to is so bad and they don't know much. I feel I'm not being taken serious and I'm afraid that at 38 weeks if I fall I can hurt the baby and cause damage . beginning to think I'd rather be induced than wait the 2 weeks and take the chance of being alone and falling again....first time mom.....very worried....

I doubt they will induce you early for this reason. The womb is a pretty safe spot. Baby has way more positive reasons to stay in over a poss fall that may or may not ever happen. Let labor happen naturally if possibe.

I've had my tremors for years since a ladder fell on my head working ! They are controlled with meds but while pregnant I can't take meds. I've had tests and blood taken and I believe the tremors are causing the fainting. I'm 38 weeks should I suggest being induced or take risk of falling again hurting baby....I'm so concerned

Has your normal dr run any test and checked your labs? I have friends who have seizures who still carry to term. Seizures happen for many different reasons from caffeine to medical conditions. Once you have baby you may need a mri of the brain and to be seen by a neuro dr.
