Before 32 weeks, things are a bit more controversial.
A lot of doctors would probably advise against taking ibuprofen early in pregnancy (during the first 8 weeks or so), simply because we know that that that is when your baby's organs are being formed and ibuprofen has never been scientifically proven to be safe at that time. (It may or may not be. We really don't yet know for sure.)
Between those two time periods (i.e. approximately 8 and 32 weeks gestation), a lot of us think that occasional ibuprofen use is reasonably safe, at least if it is used only in small doses (say, 200 to 400 mg, maybe even 600 mg once or twice) and only for limited amounts of time.
There aren't any super-clear guidelines that I know of, but I would definitely recommend that you avoid using ibuprofen regularly during pregnancy, for instance for chronic headaches or anything like that.
no coz it can harm the baby but after you have given birth yeah
It is recommended to NOT take Ibuprofen. What is safe though is Tylenol
Please do not take ibuprofen during pregnancy or even if you suspect you are pregnant without consulting your OB-GYN. It is known to cause a fetal heart defect as well as problems with the baby's kidneys.
No you can't take ibuprofen in any of your trimesters! Even in your third when you can take anything over the counter, not ibuprofen, and remember the earlier in your pregnancy the more risky it is to take any medication because the baby is still developing. People really need to understand that!
It is advised not to take Ibrupofen during pregnancy at all, however paracetemol is fine.
Do not take any medications while pregnant, even over the counter ones, without consulting your Dr first.
YES. DO NOT TAKE ON A DAILY BASIS AND DO NOT TAKE IT AFTER 22 WEEKS PREGNANT.
no it is not safe, but you can take tylenol.
Time Magazine ( report on drugs and pregnancy ) states that ibuproophen taken after the 30th week of pregnancy can cause fetal death.
Tylenol is the only recommended pain reliever that a doctor will recomend during pregnancy...do not take ibuprofen as it can thin the blood and cause problems in pregnancy or delivery.
No
NO! It is never ok to take ibuprofen or aspirin while pregnant. It can cause poor fetal heart development and miscarriage. Opt for a safer alternative such as acetaminophen (Tylenol); its less invasive and much better for you and your baby if used in moderation.Unless prescribed by your doctor, aspirin and ibuprofen are not recommended in pregnancy as they thin the blood and make bleeding a risk for mother and baby.
You should not take NSAIDs like ibuprofen, aspirin, excederin, etc while pregnant. Some may say just not to take it during the third trimester of pregnancy but I always ask patients "why risk it?". Take tylenol (acetaminophen) instead. -Pharmacist
According to my Obstetrician you can take Tylenol or Ibuprophen while pregnant.
It's neither - Aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid and Tylenol(brand name) is acetaminophen -Ibuprofen and aspirin belong to the same drug class - Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDS), while acetaminophen is an analgesic (pain reliever) -they can have similar effects on the body using differing mechanisms.
Of course not! Do you realize 800MG of Ibuprofen isn't really all that much? CORREST ANSWER: Actually, yes. Taking ibuprofen while pregnant can induce labor and most pharmacists and doctors will tell you to take acetaminophen (Tylenol) instead. -Syrich Nationally Certified Pharmacy Technician
Tylenol or acetaminophen is the safest pain releiver for pregnant women and children. Although NSAIDS like ibuprofen are relatively safe Tylenol is considered the safest. The worst pain reliever to be used is aspirin because it is a blood thinner and if a child is taking it while exposed to a virus like the chicken pox then they can get Reyes syndrome and that isn't good.
Tylenol does not thin your blood and is the only safe pain reliever to take during pregnancy.
If it's just once in awhile you can take Tylenol but if it's more common you need to speak with your doctor.
No it cannot. Ordinary paracetamol can cause a stomach bleeding but with Ibuprofen you're safe. You must be careful when using Ibuprofen while pregnant though.
It's not healthy you should be taking Tylenol
To be on the safe side no
I was told that you should not take ibuprofen while pregnant, but most doctors will let you take a regular dose of Tylenol for pain. It comes in a mostly white package, says Regular Dosage, should be only 325mg capsules. I took it to fight a fever for sinus infection while pregnant. Just don't over do it, best thing is to ask a doctor or pharmacist about this.
