Let me beging by saying I am soon to be 40 and have no children. Just took a home pregnancy test and it came out positive. I have been taking aspirin left and right for the last 2 weeks for various things, headaches, etc. Please tell me that is was ok.

Aspirin binds with estrogen receptors and trigger prostoglandins. For some women a little can be quite harmful, whereas others can have little effect. Tylenol, not advil, is recommended. Your little one is probably safe, but better to play it safe throughout the rest of your pregnancy. Of course, you should always consult your DR with concerns.
