Was prescribed baby aspirin during the beginning of my second trimester after getting COVID. Few days later, I started spitting out blood clots. No cough, no triggers, just comes up my throat and everytime I spit it out, it’s blood clot. Finally went to the ER a few days later. ER doctor said it was a protocol for Los Angeles County to prescribe baby aspirin when you catch COVID during your pregnancy. I switched to Orange County since it was not a protocol there and once I stopped taking baby aspirin, blood clots coming up my throat stopped. Be careful!
That's a great question! It is a good idea to review all possible risk factors and then decide with your provider for your specific scenario. ACOG has a great table at www.acog.org/clinical/clinical-guidance/committee-opinion/articles/2018/07/low-dose-aspirin-use-during-pregnancy with in depth information to make that decision together with your OB provider. Hope this helps!
So i was prescribe baby aspirin because I got preeclamsia at giving birth to my son. Whats the dose i gotta take? The doctor said take 2 aspirin everyday.
Most of the studies used the dose of 81mg. There are also studies on slightly higher doses. Current recommendations can also be country dependent. This is a great website with more information: www.preeclampsia.org/aspirin
If have a subchorionic hematoma at 5 weeks 3 days will taking baby aspirin make it worse On it due to past few miscarriages only started taking it this past Monday so 4 days
Is this safe for everyone ? I took this to try to prevent miscarriage while I was pregnant and noticed that my blood was super runny when they drew my blood. Also I miscarried anyways . I wish people would not just blindly say it’s ok for everyone to take this
It is a great idea to review your specific OB history with your current OB provider to get an individualized answer. In general, a history of placental abruption alone does not mean that a person cannot take aspirin in the future. Here are some of the best places to go for resources to learn about aspirin and to open up the conversation about aspirin use in pregnancy: 1) Free handout to print off to start the conversation with your provider www.drlexihill.com/aspirin 2) Learn more about preeclampsia and take a quiz through the Aspirin Educator www.preeclampsia.org/aspirin 3) ACOG in depth information www.acog.org/clinical/clinical-guidance/committee-opinion/articles/2018/07/low-dose-aspirin-use-during-pregnancy
Hi, my girlfriend was just diagnosed with mild preeclampsia today... 152/90 BP, headaches and protein in her urine.. She's 34 at 18w2d pregnant.. Can she take aspirin? She doesn't have any allergies or past medical history?
Aspirin is recommended to help decrease someone's risk of developing preeclampsia (not as a treatment once preeclampsia is diagnosed). So, for people who are diagnosed with preeclampsia, they would be a candidate to take aspirin in a future pregnancy.

Im in the USA. You are right the aspirin the specialist prescribed are 81mg but he told me to take 2 pill everyday
Thank you so much for sharing this information
Absolutely!
Do benefits outweigh the risks for women who have no risk factors other than first pregnancy?

It's a great idea to check with your provider about any symptoms you may have and ask about the size of the hematoma.
