metformin and aspirin in pregnancy

Mommies, has anyone been prescribed metformin and low dose aspirin (for their GD) during their pregnancy before? I had just started taking metformin and I am already having loose stools (which feels good though coz I always have constipation). Is this normal? But I am just worried if I ate aspirin it will become worse. Anyone tried eating these 2 during their first trimester?

I'm taking both too. Aspirin is to keep my haemoglobin level under control. due to my blood disorder, I had increasing levels of haemoglobin in the start of 2nd trimester. Just started metformin this week due to spike in post meal sugar. the trick is to immediately take the pill after meals. I immediately consume them after food. reduces the side effects
