Trying again after Pre eclampsia

[Defnotunique]

As the header says.
We have 2 beauts. 13yo, 19mo.
Pregnancy with my 19mo is what you would consider as a rollercoaster of hospitalisation, uncertainty and very very scary times.
I had Severe pre eclampsia, however, I also had another condition that hasnt been diagnosed because they literally don't know what was up.
Anyhow, we would like to have another - (I must be flipping nuts) to complete our family.
I'm looking for anyone who's had pre eclampsia & then gone on to have subsequent pregnancies.
What 'extra' care were you given? I was given a leaflet when I was discharged about pre eclampsia and future pregnancies...but we had completely written off the idea lol and I never read it.
I'm aware that l be high risk, that's fine, I just wondered if there were any extra precautions that they take and what plan of care they consider as necessary in these instances.

Both my pregnancies were ended early due to pre eclampsia.
Because I was much much older and previous issues I was monitored more closely that’s all.
Nothing extra special.

“Ended early” as in 36, 37 weeks and c sections.

Thank you!, I was induced at 38 weeks with my bundle of chaos and was allowed to deliver vaginally - easiest birth ever!
Did u have pre eclampsia the second time round too? Was it just as bad as the first?

Sorry just read 2nd was with pre eclampsia too. Having a moment 😂

Hi - no personal experience but - aspirin from 12 weeks, also possibly calcium depending on your diet, some extra scans would be the usual :)

I was told to take Pregnacare Max to prevent Severe Preclampsia by my IVF consultant as I am predisposed to it due to a rare clotting disorder (it contains the right amount of calcium apparently). I also took baby aspirin and LMW heparin throughout the pregnancy, reduced my salt intake, and focussed on not gaining any weight.

I didn’t get preclampsia in the end, just what was presumed to be a clot in the placenta - it didn’t affect DC too much apart from extra interventions.
