Low Dose Aspirin to prevent preeclampsia?

My last pregnancy I ended up getting preeclampsia. This time around my Dr. suggested I take aspirin once a day to help prevent it since I am at a higher risk. He says this is something new that has been discovered in preventing it. I am someone who is holistic in my health. I eat organic foods, I don't take pills, very rarely for even a head ache, I go to a chiropractor which helps not only your spine etc but your immune system as. I look on the back of the box of aspirin and it has information about not taking this while pregnant, that it could lead to complications in the pregnancy. At any case, I plan on speaking with my Dr. again about this as he does not want me starting this until I am in my third month. I will of course take the aspirin to prevent being induced again but it bothers me as I don't even have caffeine in my diet while pregnant. Have any of you been told to do this during your pregnancy or what are your thoughts? He says he would stop me at 36 weeks taking it to prevent excess bleeding while delivering.

  • I agree with the PP.  I have always read & been told NOT to take aspirin during pregnancy, so I would def be concerned about that.

  • I am on it because we used it in conjuction with infertility treatments to help increase blood flow and aid in implantation.  I am still on it because while they felt it was safe to stay on it, they didn't want to risk anything by stopping. &nbs

    I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929

  • As I said in the original post I would be asking my Dr. some more questions before the beginning of May when he told me to start it. I was just seeing if anyone else had heard of this or was prescribed this as well since I have never heard of it. Thank yo

  • I was told to take it and did the whole beginning of my pregnancy because of the blood supply being cut off to my placenta and baby not being able to grow and thrive in my last miscarriages. This pregnancy I'm already 11 weeks and baby is great as ever!

  • I suffered from a blood clot 6 years ago, so for both of my previous pregnancies, my doctor had me on low-dose aspirin daily. Both babies were fine and each birth went well.
  • are you also following a high protein diet (Brewer's diet) if not I would check it out, those who stick to it are very UN-likely to develop Pre-E
