Completely shattered and confused, my gynaecologist has said that I have chances of getting fits/ seizures and that's all, I'm so worried I don't understand it they just said "you might get fits but it's quite normal, no need to worry plus you are under medication". I have no family history of pre e.
I need some clarity regarding these numbers and potential risks as the pregnancy progresses, this is my first pregnancy. What are my chances of actually getting it? and what should I look out for.

Being screen positive for pre-eclampsia, with your risk written as 1 in 43, does mean your chances are higher than an average pregnancy, but it does not mean it will definitely happen. Most women in this risk bracket go on to have a normal pregnancy, especially since you're already on aspirin, which is exactly the standard step used to lower this specific risk.
Next Steps
Keep taking the aspirin as prescribed and don't stop it without your gynaecologist's advice. You'll need more frequent antenatal visits from here, with blood pressure and urine checks at every visit, and growth scans later in pregnancy to watch the baby and the placenta.
Health Tips
See your gynaecologist urgently if you get a severe headache, blurred vision, swelling in your face or hands, or pain just below your ribs, since these can signal pre-eclampsia developing.
