I was pre-eclampsic with my first child, too. I waited along time, about four years before getting pregnant again. It was a good decision for me. I ended up with a healthy pregnancy, almost full term. I also had twins the second time! My first son is now ten and the twins are five. Personally, it's all about what you can handle and how close you want your children in age. You're not nesseceraly going to have or become pre-eclampsic again. I was glad to have the time with my first child though, before I had more.

Wait a year, if not 2. I have known about 4 people who have had pre-eclampsia and delivered early. Each of them had a second child and had pre-eclampsia again. 2 of them were on complete bed rest for months and had hard deliveries and recoveries. They both got pregnant with a year or less between pregnancies. Wait.

you could go wither way with the pre-eclampsia...but with you having it with your first pregnancy your doctor will want you to take your blood pressure more and watch for signs of it for your second pregnancy...but i would say try for a second when you and your partner feel ready...my husband and I have been trying for a 2nd child for 17 months now and still nothing so hope for the best!

I think you should wait at least a year . it has been proven that having children less than a year apart shortens the mother life dramatically. enjoy having your little guy you will never get this time back... then try for another next year..
