I've just found out my sis is expecting her 1st baby.
It's a bit of a tense time for her at mo - as she has quite severe SLE (Lupus)
The baby is planned - but she became pregnant earlier than expected - was supposed to be off her immune supressants for 6 weeks before concieving - and it was only 4weeks.
But she has her 12 week scan next week which should hopefully put her mind at rest.
Midwife has already asked about any PE history in the family - and she did mention me, so im glad its been raised with her already (I didn't want to have to add more worries to her as she's already got enough going on)
What actually are the risks of it running in families?
Because of the lupus and pregnancy - she's already been prescribed aspirin & clexane injections.
I'm hoping with her regular consultant led care - and 4 weekly scans from 20 weeks, then that will help pick up any problems for her.
Fingers, toes and everything crossed for her really.
