High blood pressure

So I've freaked myself over probably nothing, but I thought I'd ask for some reassurance. This is my second pregnancy, and with my first they ended up inducing me 2 weeks early due to high blood pressure. It was never diagnosed as preeclampsia, because I think they induced me before it got to that point (thank goodness). My blood pressure has been totally normal since after delivery (and never had any issues prior to being pregnant either). The past couple days I've started worrying about developing high blood pressure/preeclampsia this time. Any other 2nd+ time moms who had high blood with one, but no issues with subsequent pregnancies?

I know this is kind of dumb...thanks for your help :)

    I was induced last time due to HBP. I'm not too worried this time, I'm pretty sure it was due to my weight gain, my OB just told me to keep it in check and my BP shouldn't be an issue

    Thanks @cabee310! My first doc appointment is Wednesday, and I'm hoping they ease my mind about it a little bit too. Thanks for your input :)

    I was induced bc of high BP. I'll be watching it this time. Tell your doctor about your fears and hopefully he can implement some monitoring.

    I have had 3 kids. My two boys MY BP was great. My 3rd child who is now 1 years old. Well she was just a diva. My BP was elevated with her. A few times I was kept for monitoring. I passed every 48 hour test for pre-eclampsia. The Dr's couldn't figure out why my BP was high. Needless to say after she was born my BP went to normal levels quickly....
    Every pregnancy is different, trust me. You may not have any issues this time around. I am sure your DR will watch closely just as precaution.

    Also, my sister had pre-eclampsia with her first then with with her other two everything was great.
