Easier birth second time around
I've only had one pregnancy so far, but was told that I may be more likely to have pre-eclampsia again in the future (unless that was from my ex's genes since both genes play a role in that). I was also told that, because my baby had severe IUGR, I would get a growth scan around 30 weeks in future pregnancies to check on my baby's growth since that's when we noticed she was noticeably smaller than an average fetus.
I had pre eclampsia my first pregnancy, so with my second full term one, I was put on baby aspirin and sent for growth scans once a month. My second delivery was a breeze, but my blood pressure kept going up after delivery and we had to go back to the hospital like a week after my baby was born, because post partum pre eclampsia is a thing

I was told that the likely hood of getting or having it with a second pregnancy is high and that I may have to be induced early. I guess now they'll just keep a closer eye seeing as I didn't show any signs until I went to the hospital with chest pain (week 38) and was induced that day. All the tests from there on got worse and worse but thankfully all wound up just fine 🙏🏼❤️
