I am a two time preeclampsia survivor. My first daughter I had in 2022 I was diagnosed around 35 weeks after having high blood pressure which they considered chronic my entire pregnancy! I was induced at 37 weeks to avoid complications and had my sweet girl! Unfortunately they had missed IUGR in my ultrasounds caused by my preeclampsia so my little girl was a tiny little 5 pound warrior but needed no nicu time!

My second daughter I had in April 2024! My entire pregnancy I had no issues at all! Four days postpartum at home I started to feel dizzy and my head was pounding so I decided to take my blood pressure and it was very high. I went to the emergency room and was admitted with postpartum preeclampsia. They put me on a mag drip but I wasn’t able to stay on it because I was allergic to the magnesium. Fortunately I was able to find the right medication and by my 6 week postpartum appointment I came off my meds and have had no problems since!
