Hello,
A low dose of aspirin, 60 to 100 milligrams daily is sometimes recommended for pregnant women with recurrent pregnancy loss, clotting disorders and pre-eclampsia. Use of higher doses of aspirin poses various risks depending on the stage of pregnancy.
During the first trimester, use of higher doses of aspirin poses a concern for pregnancy loss and congenital defects. Taking higher doses of aspirin during the third trimester increases the risk of the premature closure of a vessel in the fetus's heart.
Use of high-dose aspirin for long periods in pregnancy also increases the risk of bleeding in the brain of premature infants. So, before taking it higher doses please consult your doctor, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
