Hey any moms have experience with preeclampsia ?

Question

I ended up seeing the high risk doctor at my last ultrasound and she had concerns for preeclampsia. She suggested I take a baby aspirin once a day. Any experiences, information, just kind of feel like she was vague..

Answer

That's the standard care pathway if you have increased markers for pre-eclampsia. It can help prevent or delay development of pre-eclampsia. There's lots of reliable information about low dose aspirin use in pregnancy on the internet if you wanted to do some further reading 🙂 also don't be afraid to call your PCP to have any questions clarified!

Answer

My first pregnancy, I had preexisting hypertension, and NO ONE mentioned baby aspirin (this pregnancy my OB did).
I was on HBP medication my entire pregnancy.
I had preeclampsia, which they medicated me with magnesium sulfate when I got induced (not my fave med, made me feel really foggy), AND I had postpartum preeclampsia which was really scary because not a single care provider told me it was even a thing or to look out for it when I got home. 
I started exercising for heart health and my hypertension went away, but because I’ve had preeclampsia, I’m going to be put back on baby aspirin. 
What other questions do you have, mama? I’d be happy to share more of my experience if you’d like.

Answer

I take two baby aspirin a day for when I had severe preeclampsia. What questions do you have?
