Pre-eclampsia second pregnancy?

[Blue2020]

We are planning to try for a second dc in a few months time (if we can). With my first the doctors picked up high bp at 31 weeks and I then had ds at 35 weeks by emcs due to us both suddenly getting worse. Luckily ds was fine just needed a stay in scbu. I had no eclampsia it resolved after the birth.

I wondered if anyone had PE in their first and either not in their second or it was mild/later? I have seen a few posts from searching I just wondered if anyone has been through it recently. Did asprin help in the second pregnancy to delay/stop PE?

Hi i had it in my first pregnancy ended up havibg to have DS early. It was so bad i ended up waiting 6 years before having my 2nd because i didnt want to go through that again. Anyway they gave me the baby dose of asprin and i was fine i had a few more checks than your usual pregnancy to keep check but i sailed through not even a peep of high bp xx

I had it with first, at a similar time/stage to you, not a sign of it the second time.

Thankyou both. That’s great to hear that you didn’t have it with your second pregnancies.

@TATFT did you take aspirin in your second pregnancy?

Same here, had it with my first, induced at 36 weeks. Was given aspirin with my second pregnancy and was fine

I had severe preeclampsia and was very unwell with my first and was then consultant care for my second and was monitored very closely towards the end.
I ended up getting kept in at my 38week check and induced as I was starting to show signs. Actually had a nice birth for my second baby!

I had eclampsia with hellp syndrome in my first pregnancy. DS was born at 31 weeks. From diagnosis of pre eclampsia to eclampsia to delivery was 13 hours.

I didn't have it in my second pregnancy but I was on lots and lots of meds and was in hospital a lot

Missed in first pregnancy on several occasions until I had a medical crisis. However second and third times I was consultant led and monitored closely and didnt have it either time.

Had it in first and 2nd. Much earlier in second but was managed with medication and got to 37weeks rather than 32 with my first.

Had it with first baby no sign of it at all with second

Im also curious about this as I had DD at 33+6 7 years ago after I started to show signs at 31 weeks. I’m now 21 weeks pregnant with our second. I’m currently taking 150mg of aspirin and I’m consultant led. I’ll have more scans and mw appointments this time around

I had it with my first and second. It was mild in the first pregnancy, and even milder in the second. Developed at the same gestation (34 weeks). My consultant said I had about a 1 in 6 chance of getting it again. I was on aspirin with both. 75mg with my first (guidance at the time), 150mg with my second.

@Blue2020 I dont think I did...it was 15 years ago, maybe treatment protocols have changed since then??
