Hi all. At my first consultant appointment at 5 weeks I was told that as a type 1 diabetic I should take this low dose aspirin daily from 12 weeks without much explanation (that I understood, anyway!). Well 12 weeks is here and I just feel v uncomfortable with the thought of taking it.
I posted a message in the T1diabetic pregnancy thread and some of the ladies had been told to take it and some hadn't. From what I now understand it aids blood flow to the placenta and can reduce the risk of pre-eclampsia.
So there are sound reasons for taking, it seems to be standard in NHS guidelines in diabetic pregnancy but I'm still uncertain about it. Not helpd by the fact I have OCD and anxiety around fear of contaminating/damaging the baby.
If anyone could let me know their experiences of taking 75mg of aspirin in pregnancy I think it might help. Thanks x
