[quote=Anonymous]Fwiw I had severe preeclampsia with my first, onset 35.5 weeks. I asked my doctor if I would be able to have another kid and she was genuinely surprised that I expected to be counseled against it. I asked about seeing a specialist and was told that pre e doesn’t usually push you to an MFM. That all might be different for you since yours was earlier but that was my experience. Pre E is just very common, esp in first pregnancies, and there isn’t all that much you can do to prevent it (outside of aspirin, which you don’t need an MFM to tell you.) Anecdotally I did get it the second time, also severe, and a little earlier (34 weeks) but I have underlying hypertension that puts me at higher risk. With the second one I had an extra layer of vigilance and it all felt much less chaotic, I got steroid shots and my kid (born at 36 weeks) was much more robust, larger, and healthier than my first. Good luck![/quote]
