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

Baby movements

So I’m now officially 22 weeks pregnant with baby number 2 and I’m still yet to feel him move. I had my 20 week scan not last week but the week before and everything seemed fine but have a repeat scan tomorrow due to not getting a proper measurement of his face. I’ve been told I have an anterior placenta too. Should I start getting worried yet ?? With my first baby my placenta was at the back and I felt him move around the 20 week mark. I’m just really paranoid as I have fertility issues as it is and have had miscarriages in the past and I’m classed as a high risk pregnancy with this one as I have strep B and I had gestational hypertension and pre eclampsia with my first baby so I’m on shared care with this pregnancy and I’m also on aspirin too which was prescribed by the hospital to take to prevent with this pregnancy.
