Pre-eclampsia in first and for second?

Question

I got pre-eclampsia with my first around 33 weeks and ended up doing a scheduled c-section at 36 weeks exactly. I am now pregnant with baby #2 and wondering if people got pre-eclampsia with their second or didn’t! (It will help prepare me either way) 
Any stories, methods to not get pre-eclampsia in second (if any) is welcomed! :)

Answer

I had hypertension with my first and second pregnancy.  I went into labor at 38 weeks running around 180/110.  With my second my blood pressure was spiking you 150/90 so my doctor induced me at 36 weeks to avoid any emergency situations.  I’ve had hypertension for 2 years now (started during my first pregnancy and never went away).  I’m currently pregnant with number 3 and have been put on proper medication and with diet change and exercise have been able to maintain a healthy blood pressure for the last 10 months.  I’m praying sooo hard for a positive, healthy experience this time!

Answer

My doctor said it's really likely in your second pregnancy unless it's a different father...but I was looking online the other day and it said that it was only a 13% chance of getting it in subsequent pregnancies. I'm 30 weeks now, so I'm just waiting for my appointment where my BP is through the roof and I have to do the 24-hour urine culture. Lol. Did your doctor have you start taking baby aspirin?

Answer

I hate it with 2 and with my other 2 I didn’t. My mother had it with me and her mother had it with her and her twin but not her other pregnancy. So I think it’s genetic but it can choose to manifest or not 🤷🏻‍♀️..

Answer

The reoccurrence rate is 20%. So 20% chance you will get it again and 80% chance you won’t. The only thing shown to possible prevent it even further is a daily baby aspirin. You should as you doctor about that.
I had severe with my first at 35 weeks. Induced that day. Currently 34 weeks with second and have had gestational hypertension since 29 weeks. Still preeclampsia free. My high BP did start earlier this time and I have been taking a baby aspirin since 4 weeks.
