Pregnancy and pre-eclampsia

Q: I am expecting my second baby in May 2009 and I have a daughter that is now 3 yrs old. I had pre-eclampsia with her pregnancy. With this pregnancy, my blood pressure has been 130 /80 but I’m worried. What can I do to help avoid pre-eclampsia this time?

A: Good prenatal care is extremely important in this situation. You doctor will want to monitor you very carefully and may recommend certain medications based on how you are doing. You might want to ask your doctor if you are a candidate for an antiplatelet agent.
