Hi there!
My daughter turns 2 in a week and my husband and I are thinking about trying for #2.
I always had perfect blood pressure before getting pregnant with #1, but then developed pre-eclampsia during labor at 40+4, and since then, I've been hypertensive.
I am not on any medications, because as long as I exercise and eat right, my pressure stays at or below 120/80. But if I don't do that, then I can get readings as high as 135/85-88.
I have a pre-conception appointment in a couple weeks. Is there anything I should know to ask? I just want to make sure I'm healthy to try again. I know there's a chance I could get pre-eclampsia again, and I hate that.
