Chances of another preemie?

Question

Hey all just to let you know about about my previous pregnancies my first was born via emergency c section due to probable acute fatty liver of pregnancy at 34 weeks also deranged elevated liver enzymes, and my second was born via emergency c section at 34 weeks due to pre-eclampsia and deranged liver enzymes again! Both very healthy babies :)

What do you think my chances are of having a pregnancy now to full term any?

Answer

I developed HELLP syndrome with my first (also with crazy liver enzymes) and I had been on bedrest since 33 weeks. I made it to the end of the 36th week before the HELLP set in and I've had two more at 37 weeks. Preeclampsia when you get it with your first there's a 40% chance you'll get it again. Not sure if the stat applies if you got it with your second though. I also know that if you get it with your first and second then your chances jump to 80% for all subsequent pregnancies.

Answer

How long has it been since your last baby? It puts you at more of a risk for preterm labor if your youngest is 18 months or less.

Answer

My daughter was born at 24 weeks because of preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome. That was 7 years ago, but doctors still said I have a 40% chance of getting sick again and having another premature baby.
