Aspirins

Any pregnant mums here prescribed aspirins to prevent pre eclampsia? What are the side effects? I have been taking for a week every night and realised for a few days in the day, I get palpitations and breathlessness. Not sure if it is the side effects or because I am pregnant. I am expecting my 3rd and this is the 1st time I am taking aspirin and feeling as such. I am 22 weeks.

I never took aspirin for my first pregnancy but doctor mentioned I will have to take it for my next pregnancy. For certain cases when you are seen as a high risk case that's a common preventative measure so doctor should know what are the risks and will only prescribe if necessary. I did experience breathlessness and palpitation in my first pregnancy though, so I guess that's just a pregnancy symptom? Do mention it to your gynae to be sure.
