Low dose aspirin. There is no evidence that taking low dose aspirin in pregnancy will cause a problem to you or your baby if you are healthy and are not taking other medicines that are affected by aspirin. However, you should only take low dose aspirin during pregnancy if your doctor has advised you to do so. Standard dose aspirin. Use of standard dose aspirin after 30 weeks of pregnancy is not advised. For most women, paracetamol is the recommended medicine to control pain or fever during pregnancy.
