Advice following severe pre-eclampsia

I am interested to hear what the rest of the globe
would advise a post-natal lady who had:
severe pre-eclampsia
HELLP
IUGR baby
LSCS at 31/40
(let's NOT repeat old threads like "VBAC or Bust"
and "IUGR v. SFD" and defining severe PET)
My thoughts were:
Risk of recurrence 1 in 4
Likely to be less severe or appear later
Take aspirin 75mg a day once pregnant
Risk increases with new partner but don't keep him just to keep the risk
down!
GP to monitor non pregnant blood pressure
Do you say anything different?
Do you do anything different such as look for Lupus anti-coagulant etc ?
