Other than Healthy Baby Code recommendations, what would the functional medicine safer alternative taking low-dose aspirin during pregnancy to avoid autoimmune-related complications, preeclampsia, hemorrhage, blood clots, and miscarriage?

Okay. Next question from Chi, “Other than Healthy Baby Code recommendations, what would the functional medicine safer alternative taking low-dose aspirin during pregnancy to avoid autoimmune-related complications, preeclampsia, hemorrhage, blood clots, and miscarriage?”

Chris: Higher dose of fish oil, so in addition to eating the amount of fish that we talk about as being optimal, another possibility if you add like 1 to 1.5 g of EPA and DHA to that. That also might have a similar impact in terms of blood thinning. Research is somewhat mixed on that, and obviously, you have to consider the specific situation and everything else that’s going on, so please don’t take this as a specific recommendation, but that’s one possibility.
