Aspirin help....

[Avearage]

I've been told to start taking aspirin from 12 weeks but I can't for the life of me remember the dose anyone having to take the same?

I think it depends on your risk factors. Usually between 75mg-150mg but I’d call your midwife or GP surgery to check

It's baby aspirin and a low dose. Needs to be prescribed by your GP. 75mg I think.

Let's hope I can get some panic buyers!!!

I take 75mg and buy from boots. My GP didn’t have a clue (aspirin recommended by a consultant).

If it’s to prevent preeclampsia the recommended dose has changed from 75 to 150mg. If you are going to try and buy it from a pharmacy, the pharmacist won’t sell it to you if you tell them you’re pregnant (even though you have been advised to take it during pregnancy!)

For some people is 75 mg and for others is 150 mg. It all depends on the risk factors you have. Give your midwife a call and ask, don't take for granted what others say.
Anyways, my GP too didn't have a clue.

If it’s 75mg you can definitely get it from boots, no need for a prescription.

75mg asptin is available in wilkos as well.

It might say in your notes from your midwife appointment. Just bought some 75mg tablets yesterday, seems they are unaffected by panic buying :)

I've been prescribed 150mg. Seems to depend on risk factors - so really, do check with your midwife or GP.

I take two 75mg

I've been prescribed 150mg intake 2 x 75mg.

I take 2 x 75mg. Bought from b&m.

my consultant says she's now remembering 150mg for all women that have risk factors and interestingly that I should continue up to birth whereas I think previously the advice was to stop earlier

I take 75mg and buy it from Superdrug/ boots. Much cheaper than the cost to the nhs of prescribing it :)
