I was diagnosed with Possitive ANA after just one miscarriage. I had a very proactive OB whose own daughter in law had the disorder, so he tested me right away -- and yep -- I had it. SO I did baby asprin with my first successful pregnancy at 37, and am doing it again now, at 39 with my second (I'm 37 weeks -- yay!).

My question is -- did anyone's doc allow them to STOP taking the aspirin at some point during the pregnancy? I would really like to stop now (at 37 wks) -- but my OB says doing so can impact the placenta (I think with possible calcification?). Obviously, clotting is no longer an issue.

And BTW, I did not take ANY aspirin while trying to get pregnant. I was always told to start taking it with my first missed period.
