No, ibuprofen is perfectly safe for you and your baby during pregnancy and even afterwards, as long as you follow the directions on the packaging. Think, what does the hospital give babies when they are little and sick? Ibuprofen or Tylenol. Don't overdose! But if you are feeling uncomfortable from cramps or pains ibuprofen is perfectly acceptable.

NO, ibuprofen is not safe to be taken during pregnancy.....drs recommend using aceteminophen during pregnancy, and the lowest dose recommended on the label. ibuprofen is typically sold as Motrin or advil, aceteminophen is sold as Tylenol. the reason that ibuprofen isn't recommended is due to the anti-imflammtory ingredients found in that particular drug. ask your dr for other safe alternatives to any medicine you may require during pregnancy

Dont listen to the first answer, listen to the second!! Ibuprofen is NOT NOT NOT safe. In recent studies of a small hole being formed in the fetus' heart, a stressor/main cause was the usage of ibuprofen products. ACETOMINOPHEN only!

How long are you or the baby at risk after taking ibrophen at 32 weeks?

It is unlikely you or your baby will suffer any ill effects. Many studies have been done with inconclusive results. The feeling is that you should avoid it after the 3rd trimester but many babies have been born with no apparent ill effects.Quote:Ibuprofen (Motrin, Nuprin, and Advil) is safer than aspirin during pregnancy, but take it only with a doctor's advice. It seems to be safe to take in the first two trimesters because there have been no studies linking ibuprofen with congenital defects. Ibuprofen does not have the anticoagulant effect of aspirin, and is therefore unlikely to cause bleeding in mother or baby when taken in the third trimester. Because it inhibits prostaglandins (natural hormones that influence labor), it must be used with caution during the third trimester. Ibuprofen can also interfere with the normal blood flow within the heart and blood vessels of the baby during the third trimester. These effects are likely to disappear when the drug is stopped and have not been shown to harm baby."
