Hi Samantha
I also have been given a higher dose of folic acid i picked it up today, she said i wouldnt need aspirin tho xx
wooo finally lol. glad you've finally been sorted hun, i saw my mw for the first time today too, she left my notes blank said fill in what you can and come see me Tuesday and we will finish them off! seemed a bit wierd to me but i suppose i know better first hand and in my own words about most stuff, rather than a second hand version jotted down if that makes sense. I've done most of them now. aspirin ha been used for years in pregnancy hun, for as long a i can remember anyway. i think my mum was on it with me and I'm 31, they used to tell you to stop around four weeks pre delivery but now they say to take it until the day of or day before. its good for preventing pre eclampsia aswell as problems with the placenta etc too so is used for lots of different reasons in pregnancy. it sometimes used along side clexane which is what I'll be doing in later pregnancy. hey i wonder if we will have the same scan date!? we have same due date, both saw mw for the first time today, both high risk and on aspirin, wooo can't wait till we all have had our scans!!! xxxxx
they asked me to take asprin in 2012 but didnt tell me till 32 weeks i should have been on it from 12 weeks plus! its ment to help with the bleeding after baby is born i think....but not 100% sure, oh wow weekly checks but if its due to pre eclampsia its better to be watched/looked after, did you tell them you have never taken it before and unsure if your allergic or not to it?

Weekly appts are going to be a pain in the neck tbh. Its too far to the surgery. On the plus side though on the days I am working it will fit in after work.
Im just going to have to see if I am allergic to aspirin but I can see it being beneficial to my overall health if I am honest. My circulation is rubbish and thinner blood might do wonders.
Are u going to be on aspirin this time huni? Xxx
