No one has mentioned so I will, please use a "high risk" OBGYN who understands high ICP because your fluid level will increase, labor and epidural carry additional risks you need to discuss and evaluate throughout your pregnancy.
Not to frighten you but I would be remiss if I didn't advise you to care for yourself, for your baby starting now. If your dr. says there is nothing to worry about except for paps he is clueless, educate him and/or find another.
Maybe everyone believes Leann and others are knowledgeable about women with ICH developing hindbrain herniation (ACM) with pregnancy and labor. I still think we should mention just in case.
But Leann its just for caution and be prepared, no reason to believe you will need c-section OK?
