Aspirin at 11 weeks?

[crazyrae]

Hi, had my booking in appt today with a midwife (later than usual because of earlier scans to check viable). She said because I've had 3 miscarriages (incl the chem preg) the doctor should have put me on low dose aspirin and told me to start taking it now.

However I'm a bit concerned as I've made it to 11 weeks and hopefully everything is ok (last scan at 7 weeks, next one is next week and had VERY bad sickness which I didn't have in any of the MC). So I'm worried if I take it now and something happens I'll worry it's from taking it? But because I've been put as high risk I have to see a doctor at 16 weeks to assess whether I still need to take it.

So I don't know what to do. I don't want to take the aspirin but in worried what I tell the doctor come 16 weeks! If I get that far as who knows of things are still OK in there :/ am I being stupid not taking it?

I took low dose aspirin until 17 weeks due to recurrent losses. In such a low dose there are unlikely to be any negative effects (any negative effects from aspirin are likely to occur during implantation.) - I would keep taking it for a while longer, clotting problems tend to occur a bit later and I definitely would speak to your midwife first.

I've taken low dose aspirin up until delivery with my last 4 births. I had no problems from taking them. All healthy babies and deliveries.

I took it from Bfp to birth, prescribed by Rmc consultant, with no problems. X

Im on 75mg a day till baby is born due to reccuring losses and blood clotting issues. Its fairly common to take it up till baby is born. If they suggest you take it I really would consider it. Doctors wouldn't prescribe something that wouldn't be benificial to you or baby.

I'm taking it this go around too!! I started the minute I got my BFP! Hoping it helps me bring home my baby bean!

I took it for high blood pressure, prescried at 12 weeks. Worked like a charm for that, I started taking again as soon as I got my BFP, mainly because I know it works for my high blood pressure....any other things will be a bonus x

I'm on it too, and was for both my DS's. I took it right through until at least 36 weeks. It is often prescribed after recurrent MC or known clotting risks.

Aftet multiple early loses and then the loss at 28 weeks after tests showed possible pregnancy lupus and told possible a simple aspurin a day could have prevented this. I then fell pregnant and lost baby at 12weeks mmc i didnt take aspirin. Im currently over 11 weeks and been raking aspirin sunce bfp. Hoping for a positive outcone
