Aspirin

[ChunkyButFunky87]

My midwife told me to start taking aspirin at 12 weeks (today) but I forgot how much she said, it's in my notes but not the amount.

Is there a standard amount people usually take?

Normally its 'baby' aspirin so its not the standard dose. Did they not prescribe it for you?

Usually 150mg. Half a regular tablet. I would double check with midwife to be safe though

I was told 75mg. And 150mg for those with a higher BMI

They don't like you taking half a tablet anymore as there's no guarantee the aspirin is evenly distributed. It used to be 75mg but I think it recently got raised to 150mg which is what I've been taking.

You can buy the low dose aspirin in Wilko or b&m. Each tablet is 75mg and costs 80p per box. I've taken 150mg in pregnancy.

150mg I take
Not a high BMI either
Previous pre eclampsia

I just use the baby aspirin - as it's the correct dosage

My midwife told me 150mg per day but they should have prescribed for you so best to check

150 for me too. Not a high BMI but previous high blood pressure.

I'm taking 75mg. My midwife mentioned the dose has changed recently. But I've not been told anything as of yet.

75mg or 150mg depending on why you are taking it
