My preeclampsia was never diagnosed until after delivery with 2 out of 3 of my kids. I started becoming short of breath on day 5 pp and had a severe headache. I went to the ER both times and had pulmonary edema along with extremely high bp. First experience I was admitted to the cardiac floor and wa...

Thank you for your reply. It's always nice to hear positive feedback about the decision to try again. Family and friends aren't quite as supportive.

I will say that I went in a day sooner with the 3rd child because I recognized the symptoms and was treated immediately. They even performed an echo in the ER within an ...
