I just hate not REALLY knowing what to expect...

If it doesn’t move I will likely have a c-section from 36…

So I've been having a gut feeling I will have pre-eclampsia again this pregnancy. Is it possible to have the high blood pressure, silver sparks, and slight headache and it not be pre-eclampsia?
