1. Am I at risk for preeclampsia?
   
   
2. Is there anything I can do to reduce my risk for preeclampsia?
   
   
3. What tests will be done to diagnose preeclampsia?
   
   
4. How will the condition be monitored during my pregnancy?
   
   
5. What are the chances that my preeclampsia will develop into eclampsia or HELLP?
   
   
6. What are the treatment options for my condition?
   
   
7. How will I know if my condition reaches an emergency situation?
   
   
8. Is there a chance I will be placed on total bedrest with preeclampsia?
   
   
9. Will I likely need a C-section if I develop preeclampsia?
   
   
10. How will the condition affect a vaginal delivery?
    
    
11. Will I continue to have high blood pressure after delivery?
    
    
12. What is the risk of developing preeclampsia in future pregnancies?
