Good evening doctor, I'm currently six months pregnant and today I noticed something a bit unusual. There are a few drops of something leaking from my breast, and it happened both in the morning and again in the evening. I'm just wondering if this is normal or if it's something I should be concerned about. Could you help me understand why this might be happening?

Normal Occurrence:
- It's common for pregnant women to experience breast leakage. This is typically due to hormonal changes as your body prepares for breastfeeding.
-
What You Might Be Seeing:
- The fluid is likely colostrum, a thick, yellowish substance, which is the first form of milk your body produces.
-
When to Be Concerned:
- Consult your healthcare provider if the fluid is bloody, has a foul smell, or if you experience pain, redness, or lumps.
-
What to Do:
- Keep the area clean and dry. Use breast pads if the leakage is bothersome.
If you have further concerns, discuss them with your obstetrician during prenatal visits.

I'm pregnant and I've heard that aspirin is safe to take. Can you tell me how many weeks I should be taking it? Should I take it for the entire 9 months or just part of the pregnancy? Are there any side effects I should be worried about?
Aspirin is not recommended for routine use during pregnancy, but low-dose aspirin (60-100 mgday) may be prescribed by a doctor for specific conditions, such as preeclampsia or fetal growth restriction, typically after 12-16 weeks of gestation and under close medical supervision; however, it's essential to discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor, as aspirin can increase the risk of bleeding and other complications, especially in the third trimester.

I'm 29 weeks pregnant and recently moved to stay with my mom. My new doctor here advised me not to take Ecosprin, but my previous doctor had prescribed me Ecosprin 150 mg after my double marker test showed something about FGR before 37 weeks with a 1 in 643 ratio. Now, I'm confused about whether I should continue taking Ecosprin or not, and if I do take it, when should I stop? I'm really unsure about what to do and would appreciate your guidance.
It's understandable to feel confused. Given your doctor's advice to stop Ecosprin, its important to follow the current recommendation. The initial prescription of Ecosprin might have been due to specific risk factors, but if your new doctor feels it's not necessary, trust their expertise. You can clarify the exact timing for stopping the medication during your next appointment.
