Hi All,

As the subject says really, any second timers on here who had Pre-Eclampsia first time around?

I am PG with DC2 and am bricking it about PE.

I had PE at 36 weeks with DC1 which resulted in a traumatic final couple of weeks of pregnancy, elevated liver enzymes, traumatic birth and PND.

The closer I get to 20 weeks, the more anxious I get. I know the chances of it recurring in this pregnancy are between 1 in 2 and 1 in 6 and I am really frightened.

I am scared that I will get it again, get it early, be admitted to hospital and be separated from my little boy for days, weeks or months.

Anyone else?

That's great op! One more thing, apparently aspirin is more effective when taken in the evening.
I hope everything goes smoothly for you and you get to term with a healthy baby!
