Hi
10 weeks pregnant with DC2.
Had booking in appt last week at Queen Charlottes. Midwife got me to see doctor at the same time. Doctor suggested I start taking aspirin and injecting clexane starting immediately until 6 weeks after birth.
When I asked why she said it's purely due to my high bmi- 40. I have no other risk factors, had easy pregnancy and birth time. Perfect bp, no protein in wee, was heavier then and no drugs were ever mentioned.
Doctor said I could think about it for a while as there was no rush.
I am inclined to take the aspirin but not the clexane as I'm not sure it's needed, if anything changes and I present more risk then of course I'll take it, but I just feel they are being too general in blanket prescribing it without taking into account history etc.
anyone have any thoughts or experiences?
Thanks
