Is Bells Palsy more likely to occur during pregnancy if I have already had it in a previous pregnancy?

Im 29 years old and just found out I am pregnant with my third child. During my second pregnancy, toward the end, I noticed a weakening in the right side of my face and was then diagnosed with bells palsy. Fortunately I recovered after only a few weeks, which included being on a steroid treatment. Its been just over 2 years and I am now pregnant with my third child and was wanting to know if I am more likely to get Bells Palsy again. I never suffered from it during my first pregnancy, only my second. Although it didn't last long it was still quite distressing and would hate to go through it again.
