asprin while pregnant

I received a letter from my doctor tell me to take asprin once a day because my last baby was 5lb5, my other to babies before were 6lb4 and 7lb1. My last baby was full term an healthy other than a little small. Why take asprin and what are the risks?

A baby aspirin is safe to use, they use it for womanwho have a hishistory of miscarriage or someone with pre-eclampsia.  I'm currently on asa for a stroke I had 4 years ago because I'm high risk.  As for ur doctors reasoning I can't comment on that. Like maleka87 I would ask ur doctor for a better explanation.  Good luck
