Any second time mommies worried about preaclampsia after 1st time?

I am 22 wks and am terrified about having preaclampsia again after having it with my 1st. I know the chances r greater this time around. I had major problems after the delivery of my son due to preaclampsia bc i did not know the symptoms. I ended up going into congestive heart failure. what i want to know is if anyone else is scared or anyone have it and then not have it in another pregnancy.

I had preeclampsia my last pregnancy. I'm showing signs of it now @ 25 weeks. Its nerve racking but my doctor is great at keeping it under control and monitoring it.

I'm in the same boat. Delivered my son at 25 weeks. I'm scared but I feel we are better off this time because we know what to look for and the doctors know we are high risk. Just tell your doc anything and everything. I have my doctor on speed dial!! Trust your gut, I knew something wasn't right last time but I didn't say anything cuz it was my first baby... Hope you have healthy pregnancies this time around... (:

I had preeclampsia in my first pregnancy and was worried that I would have it in my 2nd pregnancy but never showed a single symptom. I am in pregnancy #3 now and so far no signs with this one either.

Hopefully y'all will have my luck! Wishing you all happy, healthy pregnancies.
