Question

Second pregnancy I had Preeclampsia would I have a higher risk in third pregnancy?

My first pregnancy with DD I carried full-term, my second pregnancy with DS I had preeclampsia at 38 weeks. He was considered full-term so I had him naturally with no c-section needed (Thank God). Now with my DD being 7 and DS 1, I'm wanting to try and have my thrid child. I'm just very scared that I might get preeclampsia again, and I don't want to go through that again. Has anyone had preeclampsia the third time around and know if I would be at a even higher risk in getting it again?

I have two friends who hap pre-eclampsia with their first pregnancy. They did get it again but because they were considered high risk for it they were just monitored more.

My first I had preeclampsia but I got it at 37 weeks ( did not let me have it naturally cux I was in high risk of organ failure & me or baby dying had a emergency c-section) Dr said once u get it u have 30% of getting it again in other pregnancy a with my second I did not had it at all!! Everything went perfect except at 30 weeks I started contractions I was put in mesication & shots & all kind of meds to stop them but They never did! I had to hold off 9 weeks with pain no jk (I NEVER open not even 1cm lol Drs said I was not gonna open at all that I was never gonna have a natural birth so I had the pains with no risk of dilating) .. My point ALl pregnancy are different & u always gonna have something that comes up or nothing at all
