I had severe pre-eclampsia at 38 weeks with DD leading to a 10 day hospital stay & pro-longed BP meds.
Am now pregnant with #2 (7 weeks)
Following the birth of DD at my postnatal check with the consultant she said that I would need to be under consultant care in any future pregancies.
My question is what experience does anyone who has had pre-eclampsia before had with appointments in a subsequent pregancy? I was hoping for an early consultant appointment as I have questions about low dose aspirin/calcium supplements which the midwife can't answer. The midwife didn't seem to take this very seriously & has basically said that my 12 weeks scan will be my first hospital appointment.
Just wondering if this was a normal experience. Is it worth me ringing the hospital EPU to see if they would know more. Or am I worrying about nothing?
Any experiences/knowledge welcome!!
