Hi,

Recently, I've been told I have LBBB. After lots of tests it was
decided that the LBBB is not the result of a heart attack. I have one
child but had preeclampsia during that pregnancy. I would love to have
another child but am concerned about possible risks because of previous
pre-eclampsia, LBBB and my current hypertension. Anyone have any
advice or experiences of being pregnant with this kind of history?

Thank you,

Clare

Your risk of recurrence of pre-eclampsia given past history of
pre-eclampsia and current hypertension plus older age is very high.
For this reason, you should involve high-risk OB in future pregnancies
with frequent BP and urine protein evaluation especially as you near
the 3rd trimester of each future pregnancy.

You are welcome, Clare.

All thanks and praises belong to the LORD, whom I love with all my
being.

Prayerfully in Christ's amazing love,
