If you had 2 full term pregnancies, both with PIH and one with seizures,
the chances of a repeat performance are pretty high. The deal about
different fathers happens to be correct because of differnt antibody
exposure relating to different fathers.
The buzzer you mentioned is a fetal acoustic stimulator - used to get
fetal heart accelerations on monitoring.
Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
