I’ve just found out I’m pregnant for 2nd time. Very much planned and has taken quite a while so both me and DH delighted.
I had preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome in my first pregnancy though and my DD was born following induction at 35 weeks. During my last pregnancy I took aspirin as was noted to be at increased risk of preeclampsia so I’m assuming I’ll need to take it again this time. I’m sure at the time my midwife said I’d probably be consultant led care in any future pregnancies so expecting this too.
I’m phoning today to arrange booking appointment with midwife so will hopefully get all the info soon but wondered if anyone else is in a similar position? I’m lucky that both me and DD were absolutely fine but worried that it might happen again as it’s only afterwards that I've read more about preeclampsia and HELLP and realise many people are not so lucky.
