Is Aspirin okay in pregnancy?

Question

Been told to take 75mg of aspirin since 12weeks (currently 26 weeks) which I have been but I just brought a new pack and they aren't dissolvable plus they sate on there not to take when pregnant? Can't get hold of my midwife. shall I continue on taking them? Advise pleaseeee 😊

Answer

Midwives/ consultants/ doctors all recommend the low dose aspirin for those who they feel have risks such as high blood pressure and pre eclampsia risk factors.

Take the medication, they gave it to you to help both you and baby!

In the uk is a very normal thing to have that dose of aspirin from 12 weeks

Answer

Taking a low dose aspirin is safe. My doctor put me on them too to prevent my pre eclampsia from coming back

Answer

I have been taking a low dose aspirin (nondesolvable) since I was 8 weeks pregnant I am now 24w. I was prescribed it because they couldn't figure out what was causing me to miscarry so many times. This is the furthest I have made it in my pregnancy and I will continue to take it until I give birth because it has already done me wonders. I would listen to your doctor because she knows best.

Answer

It's safe as long as your Dr okayed it. I know women with certain conditions or issues in previous pregnancies are prescribed it. In some cases it has helped women get farther along in their pregnancies and avoid potentially serious issues. Go with what your Dr says.

Answer

I have taken 75mg aspirin since 12 weeks also
I'm now 26 weeks 
It says on my box not to take while pregnant unless medically advised to 
Cause I heard your not supposed to take it while pregnant but it's such a low dose it doesn't effect the baby
I'll be continuing to take it till I give birth

Answer

Thanks everyone.. Spoken to my midwife and other people and all have given me the okay! Thanks for all your advise xx

Answer

If it specifically says don't take it when your pregnant on the box than I would just stop taking it. Even if the doctor says its ok.
