Please think about the definition of eclampsia before you breed her again "a life-threatening condition" - if it is genetic (and it is listed in the genetic disorders because it occurs in higher numbers in some breeds, not listed under Yorkies at this point, but I suspect it will be if people continue to breed them) you are not only risking her life, but passing it on to future generations. If you were deciding to breed a dog again that produced luxating patellas or a number of other problems everyone would be against it and that is not even life threatening.

Now if you gave calcium supplements while she was pregnant and could have artificially induced it that way then I might feel differently.
