low dose aspirin for hypertension?

PennyLane26

My MFM just prescribed a low dose aspirin for my HBP as it may help me avoid Pre-E. However, I've done a bit of research and I'm seeing it also may result in early labor. My MFM did say to stop taking at 34 weeks, but I put a call into my OB just for a second opinion. Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with this? (Mobile - I'm 17 weeks pregnant with my second.)

The Periontologist or whatever it is in my ob's office told me to take low dose asprin and I did for 3 days before i got nose bleeds and stopped. I told him before Starting it I am prone

I'm at 26 weeks now taking it to hopefully avoid pre-e. My dr hasn't said anything about stopping it early but I have read to stop at 35ish weeks. I don't completely remember why though.

I take low dose aspirin for High BP/Pre-E prevention.  I have to stop at 32 or 35 weeks depending on when they schedule my c-section

I'm also taking low dose aspirin to prevent severe hypertension so hopefully I can go full term this time. I've read to stop taking it toward the end because it can increase bleeding during child birth

Thanks for sharing ladies! FX the aspirin has a good effect for all of us.
