Convulsion is a change in the brain’s electrical activity. This can cause dramatic, noticeable symptoms or even no symptoms at all. The symptoms of a severe convulsion are often widely recognized, including violent shaking and loss of control. However, mild seizures can also be a sign of a significant medical problem, so recognizing them is important.

Causes of convulsion during pregnancy include:
1. Eclampsia
2. Epilepsy
3. Poisoning
4. Encephalitis
