Aspirin for preeclampsia

Hi mama! I took aspirin from w13 to w36, wasn't diagnosed with pre-eclampsia in the end and every blood pressure check at gynae appt had been normal. I gave birth to a healthy 3.0kg baby at w38 via c section because breech 🤣🤣 baby refused to turn. Baby is almost 9 months now and 75 percentile height and weight 👌 As the other moms have shared this is for preventive measure, my gynae explained to me that it's because the moment you are officially diagnosed with pre-eclampsia, aspirin is no longer a viable option and pre-eclampsia is usually eased from giving birth (which leads to risk of premature birth). So it's better to be safe since low dosage aspirin is safe for pregnancy If you'd like, can ask doc what is the normal range for blood pressure, and I measured once in a while at home because my parents have the Omron machine haha So just take it consistently and keep up with your vitamins and eat healthily!! :) all the best!!

I also had preeclampsia and took aspirin until 34 weeks I think. I gave birth at 38 weeks and baby was fine but had to monitor more closely, more doctors visits and I had to put on the thing to hear the baby heartbeat and monitor during delivery! Baby was fine but only 2.2kg but now she is 6.7kg and super happy! Don’t worry too much cause that’s the worse and relax as much as you can and follow your doctor advice!

I hav been taking since week 8, doctor asked me to start due to my previous m/c and also my age.. and i need to take til week 36 (iirc).. Aspirin has been giving me gastric pain as and when.. what are the side effects for the baby?
