During my 36th week of my first pregnancy, my blood pressure suddenly shot up to 180/90 and I started spilling protein. After 3 days of bed rest, labor was induced and my son was born with no complications. After delivery, it took 2 weeks of blood pressure medication and bed rest to bring my blood pressure down to normal.

I am currently 16 weeks pregnant. My blood pressure has risen to 134/82 and I have protein present in my urine. My OB has recommended that I take 1 baby aspirin a day to control my condition as well as monitoring of my blood pressure.

Questions:

* Do you agree with this treatment?

* Is this condition related to my previous bout with pre-eclampsia?

* How will my elevated pressure effect the development of the baby?

* What would cause this condition to occur so much earlier in the pregnancy this time?

Thank you!
