Hello. I am 39 week pregnant and have recently started a treatment with Methyldopa 125 mg every 12 hours. I am also taking a 75 mg daily dose of Aspirin. I have started expressing and storing colostrum. I know that Methyldopa is rated as compatible with breastfeeding by AAP and saw a thread in the forum where dr Hale said is L2 probably safe. Should I take any precautions while expressing colostrum during the treatment with Methyldopa? Is colostrum safe? I will probably give birth to a small for gestational baby. Thank you in advance.
