Pregnancy and aspirin
Paracetamol is recommended as the first choice of painkiller for pregnant women.
There is a difference between high dose aspirin (300mg tablets) and low dose aspirin (75mg 150mg per day).
Low-dose aspirin may be prescribed by your doctor or midwife to help prevent a condition called pre-eclampsia and is safe to take throughout pregnancy.

While there’s no strong evidence that high dose aspirin is unsafe to take during the first 6 months of pregnancy (up to 30 weeks), other painkillers may be more suitable and potentially less harmful to your baby.
