Ibroprofen

I didn’t know until just now that you shouldn’t take ibuprofen after 20 weeks I’ve had a bad cold today so taken three lots. Has anyone else taken it while pregnant?

I took them maybe twice, right at the start of my pregnancy and about half way through because i was really struggling and paracetamol don’t touch me.. i was fine but just keep a close eye for any side effects and call triage if ur worried x

I was told never to take it in pregnancy as it can cause bleeds on baby brain , and neurological issues. Just paracetamol while pregnant .

Im so annoyed with myself. I haven’t had a midwife for a while so didn’t know. Called the hospital they said as it was only for one day it should be ok

Hi I know this post is 6 months old now but hopefully someone can reassure me. I'm 20 weeks and 1 day. I have ran out of paracetamol so have just taken 2 ibuprofen. I'm now worrying I may ruined everything. It says online not to take it but then some people have and midwifes say taking it once shouldn't make a difference I'm just paranoid as really don't want anything to happen. Thank you for reading.

@Sam it’s very dangerous . Check with your midwife

@Khloe I've got a scan on Thursday so will speak to them then. I did end up calling triage and they said not to take anymore but should be okay as I'm not a constant user.
