How common is it that a mom with pre-eclampsia/PIH has seizures after delivery? This is more of a question out of curiosity (my daughter is now 7), but when she was born, I had seizures from my eclampsia. The doc even spoke of putting me on phenobarb. OB/GYN made neuro come check me out before discharge.
Another thing, my feet were so swollen that it was hard to keep my balance when I walked . I got lasix for about 2-3 days after delivery. THAT was fun after a C-section... having to get up to pee every hour! (and no foley)
Also, if you have PIH with your first baby, are you at higher risk for developing it with your second baby? Although I would really like to have another child, I am OLD now (and I have a few years of school in front of me, so I would be even OLDER when I could plan on having another child). I had many bad experiences with that delivery (they started my induction on Friday, but I did not deliver until Sunday afternoon), so I think I am just scared now.
