Preeclampsia

I am a bigger person but healthy. All my prenatal lab work has came back normal. All my vitals are healthy too.

However because of my weight my OB is suggesting I begin taking a low dose of aspirin. I’m not sure how to feel about it. I expressed my concern and all she did was hand me a pamphlet and told me to think about it.

Has anyone been through this? How was it for you? Any suggestions as to how to proceed?

Same with me I have taken low dose aspirin starting at 12 weeks all of my pregnancies healthy babies no issues

I started taking it when I found out, I have family history of preeclampsia so hopefully the aspirin will help keep me from having issues and it was recommended by my gyno and my ob

I am currently taking low dose aspirin for the same reasoning.

I’ve been taking it due to having gestational hypertension and a twin pregnancy! It’s all risk vs benefit and in my case the benefit definitely outweighs any risk associated with taking it.

I was told to take it too, because of my age

My age, blood pressure, and because I had a leep procedure less than two years ago. It's way more benefits than risks for sure with taking the baby aspirin

Confused Over Test Result

My heads pretty blagged about this atm. I’ve had spotting & some cramping but of the 2 tests I’d have expected the clear blue one to be most accurate. Any advice?

Palpitations and out of breath

Anyone else dealing with heart palpitations and running out of breath super quickly?

I already spoke to my midwife, and they put me on magnesium and extra electrolytes and said if it doesn’t help, to tell them again. I have my next OB appointment on Tuesday and I plan on bringing it back up when I see her then, but I feel like my shortness of breath has just gotten increasingly worse and the dizziness is now off and on when I used to not get it before.

Anyone else has that experience?

I am 30 weeks on Wednesday (March 25) with a C-section scheduled for end of May.
