Aspirin in Pregnancy

Hi Mum's Wanted to check if anyone was prescribed aspirin during their 2nd trimester to increase blood flow to the placenta? Any advises on this as I was told in the fetal scan that there is a notch seen in my right and left uterine artery hence aspirin was prescribed so that blood flow to the placenta is proper and that in the later trimester it can minimise the risk of fetal undergrowth..can anyone share similar experiences?

Hi I was prescribed aspirin too for my 2nd trimester. I had post-delivery pre-eclampsia for my firstborn and always have high BP whenever I went for appts for my current 2nd pregnancy. At home, my BP is normal though. I also had protein in my urine on one of my visits in 2nd trimester. I’m about 29 weeks now, obese but have very normal baby development. I’m taking 1x Aspirin 100mg every night before bedtime around 9.30pm. Do make sure you have a light snack before taking Aspirin as prolong use can cause gastric discomfort.
