Are There Any Side Effects Of Taking Ecosprin During Pregnancy?

I am 35 weeks pregnant and my age is 26.This is my first pregnancy.My height is 160 cm and weight is 77 kgs now(before prgenancy it was 65 kg).My baby weight at 35 weeks is 2.365 kgs.In my previous scan it was told that my amniotic fluid index was 8 cm at 31 weeks and i was prescribed deodavlin tablet to maintain the fluid content and advised to take lots of fluids and to take bed rest.And i went for a scan at 35 weeks and now my fluid content is 7 cm and the cord is suspected to be around the babys neck in scan in single loop.My doctor has prescribed me now ecospirin 75 (aspirin delayed release )tablets for 20 days.Is it safe to take ecospirin 75 in 35,36,37,38th weeks of pregnancy as prescribed.??I could see the instruction citing that the medicine should not be taken in last three months of pregnancy unless prescribed by physician.Will taking Ecospirin 75 be of any harm to foetus and cause any bleeding or any side effects now..I don t have any Pressure ,sugar,bleeding complaints so far...currently i don t have any weezing problem but i used to get weezing trouble when i catch cough and cold..and i had weezing issue in my 6 th month of pregnancy and have taken treatment for that and got cured then.

H there , thank you for writing in. Aspirin ( ecospirin) 75 mg in pregnancy is considered safe during pregnancy and is indicated in many situations like growth restricted baby, decreased fluid around baby, when mother has hypertension because of which at times blood supply to the baby may be reduced, autoimmune conditions like APLA syndrome, previous 2 or more more miscarriages etc.
But as your pregnancy is uncomplicated you may not require aspirin as long as baby is doing well ( growth profiles and Doppler being normal).
Aspirin needs to be discontinued 7 to 10 days prior to expected delivery ( when delivery is planned) or by 36 to 37 weeks of gestation. Such a small dose of aspirin is unlikely to cause bleeding problems during delivery when it is discontinued a week well in advance of delivery.
A single loop of cord around baby s neck is not an indication for starting ecospirin or even caesarean section as long as baby can withstand the stress of labour well and labour proceeds smoothly. ( no baby heart beat pattern abnormalities on cardiotocogram and labour is not unduly prolonged).
Hope this information helped. Take care.
