[quote=Anonymous]I mean yes you are more likely to get it in subsequent pregnancies. But you’re also in an entirely different category of pregnant lady now. I had severe pre e/hellp on baby 1 and went on to have two additional babies and got mild pre e both times but I was on aspirin and HEAVILY monitored for the other two. There was no emergency out of nowhere I was watched like a hawk. Scheduled c sections at 39 weeks, weekly scans started at 28 weeks (and it was biweekly before that). Just saying the danger of pre e is sudden onset (eclampsia comes from the greek word for lightening). When you’ve had it once there is much less risk because they just keep checking you constantly. I got a blood pressure cuff at home and was always taking my readings. Anyway it’s of course scary and there is danger but it is a more complicated calculus than “will I get it again”[/quote]
