Aspirin causes the platelets in our blood to become "slick" and can inhibit or affect our blood's clotting ability. Pregnant women should not take aspirin due to the fact that she could hemmorhage during spontaneous abortion or delivery.

Does drinking a hot coke and taking two aspirin kill a fetus?

Acetominophen (Tylenol) is usually the recommended pain/fever reliever in pregnant women. Esp. in the third trimester, taking aspirin can cause problems with blood clotting, and women can "bleed out" during childbirth. Pregnant women often take acetylsalicylic acid, for example to relieve headache. This sometimes happens before the pregnancy has even been detected. There is no cause for concern in either of these cases. Clinical studies have shown that when used correctly (i.e. on occasion and at the standard, prescription-free dose), acetylsalicylic acid is safe for both mother and child. In the last trimester of pregnancy however, acetylsalicylic acid should not be taken by pregnant women due to the risk of a contraction-inhibiting effect.

Is aspirin harmful to pregnant women?

No. Nor is other pain killers, but you can take tylenol. You should only take aspirin under the doctor's advice. Aspirin is an anti coagulant thus it is dangerous when you are pregnant. If you have Hugh's syndrome or forms of Lupus doctors may prescribe it for you until the 35th week. If you have a chronic condition with the coagulation of the blood, you might even be prescribed heparin. However, you should always seek doctor's advice before taking any type of medication during and not during pregnancy. Stay away from aspirin. When baby comes, keep baby away from aspirin because of Rye's Syndrome. The best thing to do is to always ask a doctor.
