MTHFR 1298c Heterozygous & Pregnancy: Should I Take Baby Aspirin?

Question
i am also positive for heterozygous MTHFR 1298c, yet negative for c677t.ive had 2 miscarriages and my doctor increased my folic acid to 4 mg. should i be taking baby aspirin once i get pregnant too. i asked him and he says no, but ive been reading that a lot of people in the same situation have been taking baby aspirin.

Answer
Hello Sally from the U.S.,

I would certainly recommend a 81 mg aspirin per day.  It can't hurt.

Good Luck,
