Those that had Pre-e ?

I was diagnosed w/ PRE-E when I was 37 weeks pregnant. I was induced and had DS via c section.I am in NO WAY planning to have a baby anytime soon but I was wondering what your OB discussed with you when deciding to have another baby.My OB told me I have a high chance of getting it again and earlier on. He told me he wants to have an appt. w/ me before I plan on trying to have another one so I could be monitored earlier on.

I have Pre-E, and won't plan on having another child for a few years. But, my OB said that with future pregnancies I may or may not get it again, BUT it's usually less severe then with previous pregnancies.

Here is some info too...its at the bottom of the website that says pretty much what my OB told me.

My doctor told me most peole with pre-e, IF they get it again, get it later and less severely...both my OB and high risk said this.

this.  and it held true for me.  with dd I had symptoms as early as 20-22w, was diagnosed early in the 3rd trimester,induced at 36w5d, dd born on 37w.  w ds, symptoms didn't start until 37w, induced and born on 38w 2d.   

a great article The Preeclampsia Puzzle.  search for it on The New Yorker website.   we had our two close in age b/c the research shows decrease risk of reoccurance or severity in close pg.  

GL. Congrats on the new baby!

I'm with the other ladies on this one. I had severe pre-e and HELLP with my first, diagnosed at 33 weeks and delivered at 35 weeks, 5 days. I had PIH with DS2, but no signs of pre-e. I was monitored very closely as well. My MFM told me that I had a 20% chance of developing pre-e again and a less than 5% chance of getting HELLP.
