ibuprofen during pregnancy

I took 4 ibuprofen during pregnancy 3 hours apart.. I read online that ibuprofen is not allowed during pregnancy??? Does anyone know if it's ok or why it's not allowed my doctors office won't answer but I'm really scared now.

Ibuprofen (and all NSAIDs) are a big no go during pregnancy (with the occasional exception of aspirin for certain medical conditions, and only under direction of a physician).... Tylenol (acetaminophen) is really the only thing you can take.

I don't know if I'm pregnant or not but If I am can Ibuprofen harm my child during early stages of pregnancy?

Ibuprophen should not be taken during pregnancy. Ibuprophen is the active ingredient in several over the coiner pain relievers...Motrin, Adivil are two examples. Always check the active ingredients on any medication to find what you are taking. I would recommend asking your doctor for a list of any common medications that are safe while pregnant. I hope this helps.

I have a infected broke off wisdom tooth during my last pregnancy my face swelled up and I was out of Tylenol so I took a 800 mg ibuprofen. Bad call for me but I was in pain and it was only once and everything turned out fine with baby so I was lucky.

hi this i defo something no about with my last pregnancy i had severe headaches and i was taking ibuprofen i was taken them all the time but i finally went to the doctors because the pain wouldn't settle and the doctor said DO NOT take ibuprofen just take cocodomal i think thats how you spell it lol.

There is an ingredient in ibuprofen that is a blood thinner, which is very dangerous for pregnant women considering we already have extra blood in our system. Ibuprofen (advil) is NOT safe to take during pregnancy. Your best be is to listen to those girls who already posted, and drink 2 tall glasses of water real quick. Dehydration is the number one cause of migraine/headache. If after half an hour you still have a headache, take some regular strength tylenol and have a nap. Feel better soon!

Ibuprofen is not recomended at all during pregnacy!

No ibuprofen. It's a big no no during pregnancy. You can take Tylenol. Also, drink plenty of water. Eucalyptus oil in the shower or diffuser will help clear you up a bit.

Ibuprofen is not to be taken during pregnancy.. Ive gt migraines and now that in pregnant its so severe because I can't take ny usual medication so I take paracetamol low dose for the sake of the baby even tho it doesn't helo much.. try washing her hair with cold water n place cold olive oil in her hair she should feel better with that.. well it works for me..

Never ever ever take advil or ibuprofen during pregnancy. It's a blood thinner. Your md should have given you a safe med list. Tylenol.

Two completely different compounds. Tylenol, or acetaminophen has been deemed safe during pregnancy, ibuprofen, or Advil has NOT. As for aspirin, that's correct, it's a blood thinner.

To be honest, during the 2WW there really isn't much you need to avoid. I would double check with your Dr., but I doubt it's a problem. Of course, once pregnancy is confirmed tylenol is the only thing you can really take that is not prescription. Again, double check with your Dr., but I am pretty certain it's fine at this point. Good luck, hope it's a BFP!!!!!

In most cases, no. While it's highly unlikely that taking a single dose of aspirin in early or mid-pregnancy will have a harmful affect, the drug can cause problems for both you and your baby if you take it regularly in normal adult doses while you're pregnant. So, except in a few cases, it's best to avoid aspirin altogether during this time. Here's why: Studies have linked aspirin to various pregnancy complications.

I've always been told Tylenol. Not quite sure but It's something about ibuprofen that's not good during pregnancy. I stay away from all medicines during pregnancy. If I feel like I REALLY need pain relief & usually fir a headachethen I'll take Tylenol but only after I've tried home remedies first, like tanking a nap, showering, relaxing in a dark room...

Killer headaches, and never any Tylenol around. Ibuprofen can't be that bad huh? Got to go to work and this headache must go.

After my period stopped short(its usually 4 days it was only 3) about 2 weeks later i started getting cramps and i spotted once (litterally 1 spot) iv been haveing headaches and tired and bloated and about 2 days ago i got so dizzy i almost fainted (this was after taking 400mgs of ibuprofen altough iv never had a reaction to it b4) and my backs been hurting the whole time. I took a pregnancy test and it said i wasnt pregnant but that was a few days before the 2 week mark.

I would talk to your dr about the headaches. While not uncommon during pregnancy they can be dangerous. I had a killer migraine and had to go into the hospital; im further along in the pregnancy but they can lead to complications so have to be watched.

Tylenol (acetaminophen). They're safe during pregnancy. Don't take any ibuprofen. Try to take them when you start feeling the headache come so you're not combating a full blown headache. Showers and naps helped me as well as drinking lots of water.

Labor and Delivery ULTRAM ER should not be used in pregnant women prior to or during labor unless the potential benefits outweigh the risks. Safe use in pregnancy has not been established. Chronic use during pregnancy may lead to physical dependence and post-partum withdrawal symptoms in the newborn (see DRUG ABUSE AND ADDICTION). Tramadol has been shown to cross the placenta. The mean ratio of serum tramadol in the umbilical veins compared to maternal veins was 0.

You should be fine. You arent far enough for it to have really affected the baby. You could always call your ob to make sure.
