A1983 - yes I am taking baby aspirin, and pregnacare which contains frolic acid and other vitamins/minerals.
After my second m/c a nurse at the early pregnancy unit told me to start taking it once I'd started my next period. Her words were "it can't do u any harm". My GP was not really encouraging me to take it as he didn't think it was going to make any difference, but he said "take it if that's going to help u feel like u r doing something positive that might help" so I did!
His argument is that the "sticky blood" condition which aspirin could help with apparently is something that happens to a person who has already had a baby, and then in their subsequent pregnancies this sticky blood occurs. So he was saying that he's certain that that ISN'T the issue with me, so the aspirin isn't going to help.
But as the nurse said, it can't do any harm, so I started it as she suggested.
My 1st m/c was in January, and my second in May, and after that its taken until now to fall pregnant again. As I said above I am going for my 1st scan on Friday by when I'll be nearly 7 weeks. So just praying that we see a little heartbeat! I've never had good news from a scan, and never even seen an embryo (first time just an empty sac, and second time a sac and yolk sac, but no baby) so just hoping and praying that we DO get good news this time. It feels like such a long wait! Other than some pretty nasty cramps last Sunday I've been pretty well, no spotting or anything like that thank God, sore boobs and some nausea so I am telling myself that these are all great signs.
I have not told ANYONE except hubby, not any parents, sisters, mates, no one! Both times before we told both sets of parents and literally a week later have been poorly, and within another week or two it's been over. So this time I am holding out so that hopefully I can go and tell them all that I'm pregnant, AND we've had our scan and we know things are going well. Ooooooooh it makes me so nervous even TYPING it! Xxx
