Baby Aspirin...What's the benefit??

Baby Aspirin...What's the benefit??

I have seen on numerous posts people briefly saying that they take baby aspirin when ttc...or sometime in the pregnancy process.  Do any of you do this or know why this is a benefit??

Just wondering if it is something I should include with my prenatals as I'm ttc for the 3rd time after having 2 m/c's.  Thanks...any input on the aspirin topic would be great.

Hi there! It's because it works as a blood thinner. Something about small clots causing a lot of miscarriages early on. I had to take it until 3 months.

its not for everyone
it does thin your blood - so if clots are  an issue it will help
ask your doc if its right for you

My RE put me on it as he said I have the MTHR gene and it's just to "play it safe".  I don't have the high homosystene (sp??) that would require additional treatment so he just suggested I take 1 a day.  I think it helps keep blood clots from forming and cutting off nutrients/blood flow to the fetus??

i have to take it, dr.s orders, because i had 3mc in 1 1/2 yr time, and after tones of blood work for me and my hubby, they found out i have a blood clotting disorder. forgot what it is called but that is the only reason i am on them. *good luck hun*
