Why Is Ecospirin Prescribed During Pregnancy?

Question : Hi Dr XXXXXXX I have been your patient at Columbia Asia, MRN# 100267. My name is XXXX I am 31 yrs old and 19 week pregnant, LMP 16 Nov 2013. I was under your guidance from before my present pregnancy to 14 weeks of pregnancy after which i travelled to US. Hope you remember me ! I have consulted a doctor here in US. I am unable to explain the doctor here why I was prescribed Ecospirin 75 - and she is not sure if this should be continued. I do not have BP or Sugar issues. My parents take BP medicines and have borderline sugar. She did Hoemocystin blood test on 22nd March here with result of 3.8umol/L. As of now i am continuing with Ecosprin. My brief medical history with values is mentioned after the following queries. 1)Can you please suggest if I should continue Aspirin, and for how long. Also, please suggest what I should explain to the doctor here on why I was prescribed Aspirin. 2)Please note I cant find Ecospirin here, and the closest thing is Bayer 81mg low dose saftey coated Aspirin - enteric coated tablet. Is that ok? 3)I would like to talk to you as well, can you please suggest phone no, date and time when I can call you - I cant find scheduling call on this site.

Thanks a ton! XXXX

I remember before leaving for here, you've said Ecospirin will continue till 28wks and may be further. I am nervous about stopping it as of now, could there be any negative effect if I stop in-between the term of pregnancy? Would it help if I get any tests conducted before continuing / stopping this? I am absolutely open to get any tests done. Or if I should get any tests done now or later, if I discontinue it. Are you suggesting to stop because I've crossed first trimester, or is it because I am in US -- but I am still an Indian woman :) Thank you so much for your patience and advise!
