Re: Study with Prevastatin to stop early preclampsia
Yep, there's been one coordinating through the NIH at several sites for a few years now, including Pittsburgh and Boston IIRC.

Re: I would like someone to talk to, pregnant with 2nd, had pre-eclampsia with 1st,
I'm glad you've found us! Later pregnancies are completely nerve-wracking - I stayed off the forum with my last, because I just couldn't talk. The good news is, no matter *what* they are likely to go better than your last one. That's not true for everyone, but it is true for most. I totally used den...

Re: Scared and Don't Know What to Expect
I am glad to hear her pressures are behaving! You're completely right that while there are guidelines, there's a lot of variability and unfamiliarity around this condition - which makes no sense when it is so common.

That's the new recommendation! I'm glad your docs are up on the latest.
