Pre-eclampsia

hjreeveshjreeves
in 3rd Trimester

I have a friend that is preggo with #3. Her first she delivered at about 36 weeks. I don't think she had much of it then maybe the start of it. Baby #2 she started to develop symptoms around 22 weeks and had it def by around 26 weeks and delivered at 30 weeks. Has anoyone ever had and then not had it, or do you normally have it again in the next pregnancy?

    I had it with my DD. It was diagnosed at PIH at 28 weeks. I had DD at 34 weeks after 2 weeks of bedrest.

    I am carefully monitoring my BP this time around and watching for signs of swelling.

    From what I have been told there is still a 50/50 chance of getting it. I have heard both sides. If you get it once you get it again. I have also heard the chances of having it again are slim.

    my dr said its very uncommon to have it in second and third pregnancy's with the same father....if that makes any sence.  Although it can happen my sister had it with her second around 32 weeks and she went to 36 weeks! But my neice was only 4lbs and needed help eating it was scary! Everything worked out she's a healthy 5 year old now :)

    This was exactly my DD. She was 3lbs 14 oz and needed help eating. She came home 16 days later at almost 5 lbs!

    I had Pre-e with my first pregnancy, and some pretty major swelling as well. Was induced a little early because of it. So far so good with this pregnancy, and I'm 38 weeks.

    I had pre-e with DD1 and was on bed rest for 7 weeks.  I never got it with DD2.

    I had it with my first set of twins and delivered them at 34 weeks.  I did NOT have it with my second set of twins that I had 2 years later and they were delivered at 38 weeks, and this time around (8 years after my other children) I haven't had any issues with it either.  I don't think that just because you had it with one pregnancy, it doesn't mean that you will have it with another pregnancy.  Just tell her to keep on the look out for symptoms and not stress too much about it.

    My mom had it with me and actual full blown eclampsia my brother.  I had HB with the first and still holding normal... the doctor said it was 50/50 though more probable because of a family history for a repeat.

    I had it with both my boys. Mild with my first, delievered at 38 weeks and severe with my second, delivered at 35 weeks. This time around no signs!

    I have heard you have a 30% of getting again but after having it twice you are likely to have it again. So I guess I've heard it both ways.

    I had it with my first and with this one so far so good.  I am at risk again though.  They determined this through looking at my blood vessels in my uterus via ultrasound.  This pregnancy is with a different father which as others have mentioned can be a factor.  My doc put me on baby aspirin daily to help prevent it from happening again.

    With DD#1 I started to have issues with my blood pressure around 28 weeks (although my last OB) didn't seem to care. It wasn't until my 33 week appointment that I was admitted to the hospital. I delivered my DD at 33w 4d.

    I'm now pregnant w/#2 and I started to get high bp reading around 30 weeks, but my new doctor has been monitoring me closely since 16 weeks. Just this week I was put on bed rest for ptl and high blood pressure. I'm currently on procadia. Hoping I can make it to 35 weeks before delivering this little one.
