I have a question about being prescribed aspirin. I went to pick up omeperazole prescription and there was an aspirin prescription waiting for me that has never been mentioned to me. On the box it says take from week 12 until delivery. I'm 17 weeks. I'm miffed I wasnt told I was to take it or that I had a prescription, but also upon googling it seems it's for people at risk of high blood pressure? Yet at my last two appointments my blood pressure was low. My BMI was a little on the high side at booking so I honestly feel it's like it's just been a case of oh you're fat you're probably at risk of high blood pressure here's some aspirin. Maybe I'm being over sensitive? I did try contact my midwife to ask today but she didn't get back to me and now won't be able to speak to her until Monday. Should I hold off taking it or would yous start taking it in the meantime?
