Who should be offered low dose aspirin during pregnancy?

Low dose aspirin during pregnancy is primarily recommended for women who are at high risk for certain complications, particularly preeclampsia. The correct choice refers to women with risk factors for this condition, which can be influenced by various factors, including poor prenatal care. Women who do not receive adequate prenatal care may have unnamed or unmanaged risk factors that could lead to complications; therefore, offering low dose aspirin to these women could serve as a preventive measure.

The other groups mentioned do not universally warrant the same recommendation for low dose aspirin. While women with gestational diabetes and high blood pressure may have increased risks during pregnancy, they are not automatically candidates for aspirin therapy unless additional risk factors for preeclampsia are present. Additionally, not all pregnant women need low dose aspirin, making it important to tailor the recommendation based on individual risk assessments and medical history.
