Aspirin

[Holly1991]

Midwife come over to mine today (cause I'm full of bug & couldn't go out)
She said I'm intermediate risk of getting pre-eclampsia so wants me on a dose of aspirin..
What does the aspirin do? Forgot to ask as I was in panic mode from feeling sickly.

But baby's heart is good & bub is the right height for 16 goin on 17 weeks! Which is good

I think so, was just wondering if its a blood thinner? Cause I have raynauds and don't want it to cause extra circulation problems.

I'm okay still feel horrid, not eating very much but will try some dinner for bub
Hope your well

I was taking aspirin from ovulation until my artery scans last week, it is a anti-platelet which makes your blood less sticky. Its fine to take in low dose in pg (are you on 75mg?). I'm also taking fragmin which is a full blown blood thinner as I am prone to blood clots.

Haven't got them yet need to buy them, yeah 75mg tablets I need. I just dunno if it will affect my raynauds syndrome? Cause I have trouble getting blood to extremities ?
Or am I confusing blood thinners with blood clotting tablets? I dunno which one affects me can't remember lol x

I think I have this too. White fingers and toes!!?
Mum gets it too. Does aspirin work for you and is yours worse now your pregnant? X

Aspirin will in theory help your raynauds - cos it will thin it making it flow easier to your extremities.


On my iPhone - so cant see tickers

Not too bad in the summer but in the winter I can't even sit in the house without my toes going numb. Might mention it to doctor next time I go thanks x

 

[Holly1991]

Oh brilliant ! thank you !!
Jess- Yeah mines worse in winter... But if temperture drops even slightly I start going cold.
My hands and feet go white, then I get blue and orange patches on me up to elbows and knees .
It's not changed much since pregnant except ATM I'm hotter (due to heat plus pregnancy) I guess I'll find out more when temp drops!

Deffo get checked.. I don't think doctors can do anything for it but Atleast you know an work knows about the condition.
I work in supermarket so not allowed in the freezers etc.

Yeah me too, usually I can't wear nice dolly shoes wih no socks because my feet get too cold. Do the do a blood test to see if you've got it? X

I Think they did yeah! (had it done when I was 13 so a while back)
If it is raynauds they need to check whether is raynauds syndrome or Raynaud's disease...
Raynauds syndrome is just poor circulation.. Raynaud's disease causes other health problems
