ABSTRACT
Antenatal intake of low dose aspirin is advised for prevention of pregnancy induced hypertension, intrauterine growth retardation and pre-term labour. Aspirin has an anticoagulant effect due to its action on Cyclo-oxygenase and vitamin K dependent coagulation factors. It can readily cross the placental barrier and be a potential cause for bleeding tendency in the fetus. Fetal intracranial hemorrhage, following low dose aspirin administration in a mother and subsequent effect after delivery is being reported.
