Preeclampsia and its reoccurrence and danger?

Question

Hi all, this topic has been going in my mind for tooo long now, i google on it all the time. Lots of confusion and curiosity. Please help with any details i may need. 
I have 2 beautiful daughters.(4yrs, 18m)
My first was a biochemical pregnancy(sorry if im not explaining well)
And left my body at 6 weeks. 
After that I had my 4yr DD (4lb@birth)and they diagnosed my preeclampsia at full term 37w and induced me right away, and all was well after.
(I have tiny babies!!!)
-3yrs later-
My second 18m DD (3lb@birth), my doctor from the start was retiring at my 7m so i had to switch doctors and so i told my new doc that i had preeclampsia in my last so she right away start to check on that and (the protein in the pee) found preeclampsia and this time as it was diagnosed a little more early thn before i had to deal with it a lot, i had to get test every week and it just kept on increasing so the plan again was to induce at full term(which they said at 37w) but my baby came at 36 weeks and my doctor didnt want to let me go from the hospital because of my high blood pressure..doc told me afterwards that my protein level was 3000 and when she saw my name on her computer she called to say to induce me but nurse told her was in labor. all the higher risk doctors were involved with my issue..my baby was in the NICU(in a different hospital location)so i begged my doc to discharge me from the hospital, so finally she agreed after telling me to be on complete rest and no stress as my preeclampsia is their and can turn into eclampsia. I tried my best but my situation was still on edge, which my doc kept warning me about. I also got a fever after my preg, which wouldn't leave me... after several er visits i took my stand and said im not leaving the hospital until they fix me. So they sat the doctors and came to a conclusion that i will stay until my fever is better and they find out whats going on.. stayed their for a week. All of this craziness has stressed my body, went thru postpartum depression got out of it after 8 months etc.
My question is here! 
I want to have more kids but as per my situation maybe not kids just 1 more, gender does not matter to us just a happy healthy baby. I asked my doctor if i wanted to have more she said to let her know 3 months before trying and she'll start me on aspirins. Ive read horrific news lately of mothers dying from preeclampsia. I dont want that... please suggest, inform and guide me if anyone has been thru this situation and if it ok or not..what should i do??.
P.S : my mum says "2 is enough, u dont have to kill yourself to bring another!"
Hubby is happy either ways with more or  2 as well and if bring another is harmful for me he doesn't want it! 
I just thought 3 was a good number but not at the Risk of my health...
Thank you all for your reply in advance!

Answer

Well if ur monitored closely and check ur blood pressure on a daily basis, you should be able to catch it before it gets bad.

Answer

So, preeclampsia can be life threatening. I honestly wouldn’t chance it. You have 2 beautiful children and I don’t really think the risks out weight the benefits. You have a higher risk of seizing, premature birth, still birth. I don’t want to kill your dreams of another child but it seems your body really shouldn’t be put through this again.

Answer

I had preeclampsia and I’m trying again, but mine was never “severe,” my baby didn’t need NICU, and I didn’t get a fever or post-partum depression.
That’s a lot of things. My doctor said a hard “no” to trying for twins the second time (which I wanted to).
I’m glad he did because I think it’s hard for most doctors to say no, against what their patient clearly really wants.
So I would be totally upfront with my doctor and have a longer conversation about what your risks are. Let them know that you want to make a GOOD decision for your health, for the health of the baby you want, and for the rest of your family. Get a REAL answer, uninfluenced by what they think you want to hear.
What’s the chance of another NICU stay, and how would I and the rest of the family handle it? That question would be front and center.
PPD is also a good chance of recurring. Can your husband take care of two toddlers, a sick infant, and a depressed wife?
No answers for what you should do. But suggestions of things to think about.

Answer

I had pre eclampsia during my last pregnancy which I developed in my 3rd trimester and was induced at 38 weeks. During my current pregnancy (I’m 36 weeks) my doctor started me on baby aspirin at the start of my second trimester and so far I’ve managed to avoid catching it up until this point. I was diagnosed with gestational hypertension today but I haven’t had any signs of the pre e aside from occasional high blood pressure. My doctor has been adamant on checking me and asking about the symptoms and signs. She’s having me do a 24 hour urine tomorrow to make sure there’s no protein as I haven’t had any at my office visits. So, I’d say your chances of catching it are increased because you’ve had it before but it doesn’t mean you most definitely will get it.

Answer

Your doctor would tell you if it was not medically advisable to have anymore kids. My mother had preeclampsia with both her kids and wanted to have more but the doctor told her not to as she would likely be very sick and could die from preeclampsia a third time. You can discuss the risk with your doctor if you’re worried but aspirin is common to try and prevent it. I’m high risk for preeclampsia because of my mom and I’m on aspirin.
