1st pregnancy was stillborn, worried about 2nd pregnancy
am preggy a 2nd time, but am extremely nervous. Had high blood pressure 1st time round. Any advise you can give me for a healthy child this time round ?

High blood pressure can recur in a subsequent pregnancy. It would be important to book as soon as you know that you are pregnant. You should then be followed up very closely. Sometimes low dose aspirin is necessary. There is also some evidence that Vitamins C and E may be useful.
