In the United States, the rate of preeclampsia increased by 25% between 1987 and 2004
Pre-eclampsia occurs in 6% of pregnancies, usually in the second or third [[trimester]], and after the 32nd week. Some women will experience pre-eclampsia as early as 20 weeks, though this is rare. It is much more common in women who are pregnant for the first time.<ref>Robbins and Cotran, ''Pathological Basis of Disease, 7th ed.''</ref> 
Pre-eclampsia is also more common in women who have preexisting [[hypertension]], [[diabetes]], [[autoimmune]] diseases like [[Lupus erythematosus|lupus]], various inherited thrombophilias like [[Factor V Leiden]], or [[chronic renal failure|renal disease]], in women with a family history of pre-eclampsia, obese women, and in women with a multiple gestation ([[twins]], [[triplet]]s, and more). The single most significant risk for developing pre-eclampsia is having had pre-eclampsia in a previous pregnancy.
Pre-eclampsia may also occur in the immediate post-partum period or up to 6-8 weeks post-partum.  This is referred to as "postpartum pre-eclampsia." The most dangerous time for the mother is the 24-48 hours postpartum and careful attention should be paid to pre-eclampsia signs and symptoms.
