Pre-eclampsia in a second pregnancy.
The incidence of pre-eclampsia in a second pregnancy has been studied in 6,637 women for Aberdeen City whose pregnancies occurred between 1969 and 1978. The rate of pre-eclampsia in second pregnancy is less than in first pregnancy, but this is altered by the outcome of the first pregnancy with reference to length of gestation, occurrence of pre-eclampsia and abortion.
