Aspirin for Postpartum Patients With Preeclampsia

This study is investigating whether low-dose aspirin, taken after delivery, can reduce the risk of complications in women who had preeclampsia — a serious pregnancy condition involving high blood pressure and organ stress — during their delivery hospitalization. Preeclampsia can increase the risk of ongoing cardiovascular problems after birth, and aspirin's blood-thinning properties may help reduce that risk. **You may be eligible if:** - You had preeclampsia with severe features during your delivery admission (as defined by standard obstetric guidelines) - Your prenatal and postnatal care was provided by Long Beach Memorial's OB/GYN or Maternal-Fetal Medicine team **You may NOT be eligible if:** - You are under 18 years old - You speak neither English nor Spanish - You had high blood pressure diagnosed before 20 weeks of pregnancy (chronic hypertension) - You have a known allergy or previous bad reaction to aspirin, or a medical condition where aspirin is unsafe (such as nasal polyps, stomach ulcers, history of GI bleeding, or severe liver disease) - You are currently taking aspirin for another medical reason after delivery - You have a bleeding disorder - You are breastfeeding a baby with low platelet counts Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
