@lisajaner I didn't have pre-e, but I understand the implications of having it. I DID take low-dose aspirin throughout my entire pregnancy, however, to prevent miscarriage. I had two prior miscarriages and CHOSE to use low-dose aspirin while attempting to conceive (there is mixed evidence about whether or not there is a benefit for this purpose, but I did it anyway), which resulted in having my daughter. I was afraid to come off it, but knew there was evidence of also wereducing the risk of preeclampsia, so I asked my doctor if I could just stay on it, and he was fine with it. I DID manage to not have preeclampsia, but I wasn't super high risk for it, either (under 35, but barely, no family history, etc). I did develop mild gestational diabetes, but managed to control it with diet only and went to 41 weeks before getting induced. Having gestational diabetes is also something that can happen in all pregnancies and can increase your risk of diabetes in the future.
I did not like being pregnant, and my induction failed, requiring an unplanned c-section, but my scarier issues happened post-partum. I developed severe PPA/PPOCD that went on for months. Maybe it would NOT happen again, but it could also be WORSE if I had another baby.
Still, being OAD is due to multiple other reasons for me. So even if I COULD be guaranteed a complication-free pregnancy and decent post-partum mental health, I have other concerns (finances, small village, splitting attention amongst 2 kids and a spouse, having any time left for myself, needing a bigger home, and the fact that I'm already tired and don't have a ton of energy, my husband and I are quickly approaching 40, also - I'll be 38 in a few months, he's turning 40).
