Signs of preeclampsia showing up now that I’ve stopped taking aspirin.

Heather • T1 Diabetic. Due Oct 20’.

Just a rant sort of.

My ob said that I needed to stop baby aspirin “around 36 weeks”. So I stopped Sunday which was day 1 of 36 weeks. Problem is that I’ve started having signs of preeclampsia now that I’ve stopped. Swelling in both hands and feet, elevated but not abnormal BP, soreness through my arms. It’s really causing me not to have any motivation at all to finish cleaning the house. I really want to start taking the aspirin again but I’m not sure how it affects delivery. I plan on asking ob tomorrow since I’m getting twice weekly NST. I’m also being induced at 38+3, I really don’t want to end up with preeclampsia and deliver any earlier than that. It’s amazing how much a small baby aspirin helped keep these symptoms at bay.
