I had pre eclampsia at 37 weeks with my first, had c-section and she is great, just turned 2.
I am now 30 weeks with my 2nd and have pre-eclampsia again.
Scheduled c-section for March 16 but have to go to dr and hospital 4x a week until she comes
I'm nervous too but I'm feeling positive too since my first one was good

Hello. I went into the hospital at 37 weeks with my son. I was scared as well. I ended up having a c section but it was all ok. My son came out safe. No complications. He is now a year in a half and running around healthy as all.
