This decision should be between you and your OB. Aspirin has been shown to protect against pre-eclampsia/eclampsia and you can go go to pubmed.gov and read all about them. Do you have a prior Hx of preeclampsia. Are you in a group more likely to get pre-clampsia and aspirin has been shown to decease the risk to the mother and baby? Does it run in your family? Discuss with DRs.
