Unknown: There isn't a set percentage of pregnancies that develop preeclampsia. However, our ob/gyn colleagues have developed a list of risk factors that you can find online. The strongest risk factor is maternal age. Being a premie is not on the list.

Small: Rates of pre-eclampsia are fairly small - around 3-4%. While pre-eclampsia is a risk factor for stroke, actual chance of having a stroke is very small. Available data indicate 11-30 cases of stroke per 100, 000 deliveries. Pre-eclampsia a well-recongnized condition and can be effectively controlled. You should let your doctor know about your concerns and let them follow you closely.
