[QUOTE="diabetesmum, post: 33695, member: 6577"] Hi Liz, I am not diabetic (my 2 girls are!) but I was prescribed aspirin in my first pregnancy. I took half a tab a day (not sure what mg that would be now, it was a few yrs ago!). The consultant said that the slightly blood thinning effect of the aspirin improved the flow of blood through the placenta and that was why he wanted me to take it. I was fine throughout and so was the baby. Two weeks before my planned caesarean (due to placenta praevia) I came off the aspirin so that it wouldn't affect blood clotting during the surgery. All went well - the gorgeous baby is now a hormonal teenager, but still gorgeous! If I were you I'd ask for the reason(s) you've been prescribed it, you have a right to know! Good luck with everything. Sue [/QUOTE]
