Perhaps you should check with your doc why he prescribed aspirin. Did you complain of any pain or aches? Doc sometimes may prescribed aspirin to relieve pain or as muscle relaxant. Do cut down on caffeine intake if unable to sleep at night, listen to some light music to help you calm down and relax, take a stroll in the garden if you are able to do light exercise. Stay happy and relax yourself :)

Goodluck mummy.

Hi, may I know what was your experience without taking the aspirin?

Aspirin is taken to reduce the thickness of the blood. Ur doctor probably prescribed you that because the baby may have low birthrate or risk of PE based on the scans that you did. However do take note that it has to be lpw dosage of aspirin. Less than 100mg/day.

Aspirin is okay. Tylenol is not. Daily sounds excessive though
