Women with severe pre-eclampsia
have an increased risk of recurrence in their next pregnancy
(about 1 in 6 (16%) pregnancies) but the disorder is generally
less severe and manifests 2e3 weeks later than in the first
pregnancy. This risk increases to about 1 in 4 (25%) pregnancies
if the pre-eclampsia was complicated by severe pre-eclampsia,
HELLP syndrome or eclampsia and led to birth before 34
weeks’ gestation.
