Hi H, I had it with both my pregnancies :(. With DS my bp was up from about 25 weeks with protein in my urine, and I got to 37 weeks before my doctor decided to induce as my blood test results were deteriorating fast. With DD I actually had low bp until 35 weeks when it shot up and then started bouncing all over the place, and DD was a C-section at 36 weeks. Keep your fingers crossed you don't get it again but don't be surprised if you do. Best of luck!

Hi, I had preeclampsia during my first pregnancy; this has worried me and have been put-off having a 2nd one ( had It quite severely where I nearly Lost my DD) keeping the story short..I was admitted in hospital at 27 weeks was closely monitored then got to the point where DD was distressed and had her at 35 weeks on top of that my placenta stopped working. DD had to stay in neo natal care for a month to gain weight as she arrived a month earlier... DD is 5 yrs old now growing up too fast and doing well only downfall she always ill every other month I assume it was because she was a premature baby... I am considering having baby #2 be good for DD in my opinion. Only issue my age is going against me; been worried about this for years..also whether to have the baby here or back home in UK the care I had on the NHS with DD was great cant fault NHS in my opinion. Apologise if I've put you off, H1983 Good luck..

Hi, I had pre (eclampsia) during my first pregnancy, around week 30 my blood pressure started to be high and my doctor started to monitor it very closely. I had to take medication until the end of pregnancy, but got to term. I had a c-section because my blood pressure was very high when week 37 started and my DD was in sitting position, my doctor decided that wait would not be wise and she was born that week very healthy. One of the things I noticed was that my blood pressure started to get high when I started putting weight, it was slow until 24 weeks (got around 2 kgs) but suddenly I started getting very swollen (I guess it is not the correct word, sorry about that) and in one month I put 7 kgs (no change in life style or food intake), after that the blood pressure started to be an issue. I did not face it during my second pregnancy, my doctor said it would be unlikely to have it twice, but not impossible, so I got the blood pressure monitored very closely too, I even had daily measures to make sure, but it was never an issue, actually it was the opposite, my blood pressure was always very low. This is very serious, so don't take it lightly, the situation can change in a matter of hours and you may need medical intervention, so please be careful and follow whatever advice the doctor gives you.

I cannot really help with your question but would like to say that both (pre)eclampsia and HELLP conditions most be taken seriously by the doctor. Good luck!

I have a friend who had eclampsia with both of her pregnancies, I had HELLP syndrome, which goes beyond eclampsia... however a midwife (not here in Dubai) told my mum you wouldn't get it (HELLP)with another pregnancy...to be honest I have no idea how true that is given you can have pre and eclapmsia in subsequent pregnancies. Your gynae dr would be vigilant one would hope in monitoring BP and any other symptoms for pre eclampsia.
