I was reading up on miscarriage today and was surprised to find out that taking aspirin and other NSAIDs (non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, like ibruprofen) is linked to miscarriage, especially in the first trimester.
Has anyone else heard this? I know that taking aspirin during pregnancy isn't really recommended, but I didn't know it could cause a mc. Apparently it's because it can cause implantation failure.
Here's one of the articles I read:

I know that many women take baby aspirin for fertility - I have myself. The articles I read didn't make a distinction between baby aspirin and regular aspirin though, so I'm not sure if baby aspirin has the same association. I had a look at my bottle of baby aspirin, though, and it's also classed as a NSAID.
Anyone heard or know any more about this?
