Had preeclampsia in my first and it was a scary time. Now planning baby no 2 and the fear is back. What can i do this time to lower the chances? Pls share if anyone went through this twice.
Ah, the second pregnancy stress! Just tell your husband to do all the work so your blood pressure stays low haha. Honestly, stay active and keep your doc updated.
I had to curb my salty street food cravings to keep my BP normal. Stick to fresh fruits, cucumber, and coconut water. It keeps you hydrated and helps manage blood pressure naturally.
Having lost a baby before, I was terrified of preeclampsia. I monitored my blood pressure twice a day and strictly followed my gynac's advice on medication and rest. Please stay in close touch with your doctor.
I barely get sleep now, but during my second pregnancy, I made sure to check my BP constantly. My doctor put me on a daily aspirin tablet which helped prevent it. Definitely ask your doctor about it.
Keep a simple BP monitor at home and check it daily, it is cheap and keeps you safe. Also, cut down on extra salt and junk food. These basic steps really help control high BP.
