Hi ladies,

Just wondered when those of you on aspirin, for any reason, stopped taking it?

I'm over 36 weeks now and have weened down to a quarter of a tablet a day, but am somewhat apprehensive about stopping completely.

My MW said I can just keep taking it but just wondering what others did ? Am I likely to do my baby any harm with regards to blood clotting if I'm still taking a quarter a day ?

Huge Thanks!!!

Hi. I stopped Asprin at 34 weeks as directed by fertility specialist (usual advice I gather). I was on 100mg tabs. My obstetrician said that if I continued it would increase bleeding in labour. The other one I considered and stopped @ 38 wks (turned out to be 1 week before birth) was Omega 3 supplement as they can also increase bleeding. Some things to consider I guess.

I was on it for previous pre-eclampsia and high blood pressure, not for clotting, I was told to stop it at 36 weeks

Yeah I think I was meant to stop around 36wks. But all my babies came early and I was still taking aspirin when I went into labour with all 3. I did lose more blood than normal with #2 (c sect) but for the other two vaginal births, I had normal blood loss. But I don't think it was the aspirin that caused the excess blood loss for the c sect.
