Congratulations, and welcome to the forums!
You could ask your OB about the possibility of taking baby aspirin:

If you are diabetic or pre-diabetic (or hypothyroid like me) of course talk to your health care provider about the best way to manage any possible underlying health conditions during pregnancy.
The good news is that if preeclampsia does strike again it is usually later in gestation or less severe. The theory is that subsequent pregnancies/placentas are able to take advantage of uterine artery remodeling work that was done by the first pregnancy, and maybe that's why things tend to go better.

Pregnant again after early term pre-e
I had my son at 30 weeks 6 days do to onset of pre-eclampsia. Just found out I'm pregnant again after not quite 2 years. I'm am overweight (400lbs) which I know increases my risks of not just having the pre-e again but other complications. Wondering if anyone else has had a second pregnancy after earlier term pre-e and if so what steps were taken to help prevent it occurring again in next pregnancy
