High bp instructed to take baby aspirin

So I had my nuchal scan today I’m currently 12+6 days and they took my bp like as soon as I walked from the bathroom and it was 143 over something I can’t remember the bottom number. I had preeclampsia in my first pregnancy and my doctor instructed me to start taking baby aspirin this time but I’m so worried about taking a medication like that for my entire pregnancy. Has anyone taken baby aspirin your whole pregnancy and baby turned out to be ok?

I have to take it this pregnancy too. Only benefits have been shown to do this as it helps block something that causes some women to get preeclampsia. Preeclampsia offers way more risks than baby aspirin. A lot of times, it appears earlier and more severe in subsequent pregnancies which could mean a micropreemie.
