I posted last week about some issues I've been having with conflicting information regarding being on baby aspirin and anesthesia.
I have Factor V Leiden but no clots/risk factors so they put me on baby aspirin at 4 weeks due to RPL. At 34 weeks I was told to come off of it. I couldn't. I didn't understand why. Really upset about it. Well, I talked to the hospital and they said that it's the hospitals policy that they will not give you an epidural or a spinal block if you have taken aspirin within a week. They won't even give you a blood test to check anything. It's a solid no, they won't do it. I guess they have their reasons. Someone probably had complications. I'm not sure.
I talked to my MFM and two OB's who both said I really should come off for my safety because I am most likely having a c-section (breech baby, can't turn her) so at 36 weeks I stopped taking it. I'm so scared.
I just feel like this is what got her here but I've been doing a lot of reading and I guess stopping around this time is protocol for a lot of women. I'm just really worried about it.
