PIH and preeclampsia with the first, what about the second?
With my first pregnancy I developed pregnancy induced hypertension around 32 weeks. Before that I ate healthy, I exercised regularly and was very healthy so I was shocked when the PIH just came out of nowhere. At 38 weeks they found protein in my urine and my blood pressure was 155/108 (or somewhere around those numbers) so I had to get induced. I am just wondering how common it is to have PIH or preeclampsia with all pregnancies. Both my grandmothers had it, an aunt of mine had it and my cousin had it, so it is a hereditary thing or no? I really do not want to have to go through it all over again, is there anyway I can help prevent it?
