PNC/PNV/aspirin.: The only interventions proven to decrease the risk of preeclampsia are Aspirin 80 mg daily preconceptionally or by 16 weeks, calcium (i.e. Prenatal vitamins - pnv) and regular, early prenatal care (pnc). Additionally, when a woman sexually cohabitates with the same man for over 6 months she has a decreased risk for preeclampsia.

Wait and watch: Sometimes abnormal placentas begin to breakdown at 20wks, leading to exposure of mom to some of dad's placental genes and lead to an "allergic" reaction where the vessels spasm and platelets are drawn away (thrombocytopenia). The spasm causes high BP, HA, liver dysfunction, vision changes, and protein in the urine; leads to maternal seizure, decreased baby growth, and sometimes placental abruption
