Incomplete question: It seems some of your question did not upload. Preeclampsia is a problem more common to first deliveries.I am sure you don't want to delay treatment if anything comes up but try to relax & make sure you have an action plan(where to go/when to go) ready if something does come up.The uterus often goes through some false contractions as you get further along.
