Join MEA and local midwives to learn about baby aspirin and blood thinners in pregnancy, ask questions and feel informed about your care.

Have You Been Offered Baby Aspirin or Blood-Thinning Medication During Pregnancy?

You may have been recommended baby aspirin or blood-thinning medication during pregnancy but still have questions about why you need it, what it does, or what it means for your pregnancy.

Join Maternity Engagement Action (MEA) CIC and midwives from local maternity services for a relaxed and informative conversation designed to help you better understand these medications and feel more confident participating in conversations and decisions about your maternity care.

No question is too small. This is a welcoming, supportive space where you can listen, learn and ask questions without judgement.

🗣️ Questions You Can Ask

💬 Ask the Midwife

There will be an opportunity to ask general questions and hear directly from maternity professionals in a relaxed community setting.

Who Is This Session For?

This event has been created for Black and Black mixed-heritage pregnant women, particularly those who have been offered baby aspirin or blood-thinning medication or would simply like to understand more about their use during pregnancy.

Important Information

This is an information and education session. The midwives and MEA team will provide general information and appropriate signposting rather than individual medical advice or personalised clinical recommendations.

For questions or concerns relating specifically to your pregnancy, medication or medical history, please speak directly with your own midwife, GP, obstetrician or maternity team.

Come with your questions and leave with a clearer understanding of your care and the conversations you can have with your maternity team.
