Pregnancy #2 :)

I had A LOT of complications with my first pregnancy,
i had pre-eclampsia, and even with my c-section i had complications and they had to put me under.

does this mean my 2nd would be high risk?
or that i will have to have another c-section?

I have a friend who had every complication under the sun with her first pregnancy (placenta previa, preeclampsia, etc.) and ended up having a "textbook" one the second time around.  Each pregnancy is different.  You may be at a slightly higher risk for having certain complications because you had them before, but it doesn't necessarily mean that you'll have them again.

Good luck :)

It doesn't. I had a horrible first pregnancy where I was high risk the whole time and then my second pregnancy everything was smooth sailing (or at least until I had issues towards the end and now I am considered high risk again). As far as another c-section it really depends on the doctor but if you are able to you should be able to get a vbac (vaginal birth after c-section).
