Thank you, you've all really helped put my mind at ease.
I've cleared the bathroom cabinet and am trying not to think about it!

Hey,
Please do not worry, I had pelvic girdle dysfunction whilst pregnant along with a slipped disc. I was on regular codeine and during the last few weeks the doctors had me on tramadol as well. When my hip got dislocated I was also given Morphine. I like you was completly freaking out, however without the morphine they couldn't even get me off my bed to get me to hospital! Mashallah ( thank god) my baby is perfectly healthy and is now 13 months old. I was a woman who wanted to go au natural, however circumstances where such I couldn't. So just relax do not stress and you will be fine! Just get rid of the ibroufen from your Medicine cabinet and any other medications that are a no no.
Hope that helped xoxo

Funnily enough I had this conversation today with a friend who is pregnant and taking nurofen. Apparently it is a problem in tne last trimester only and she was given it by her doctor. Wish I knew as have had horrible toothache tnat paracetamol did not touch! So don't worry too much.

Thank you for your responses, I am a little calmer now!
Trying to resist the temptation to google anything else on the subject as it's not doing me any favours!

Best wishes to you all.

I really wouldn't worry, I did exactly the same (2 nurofen) about a week before I found out that I was pregnant, so around the 3 / 4 week mark. I am now 10 weeks, and apart from bad morning sickness I have been fine, touch wood.

However, if you are concerned, talk to your doctor.

fingers crossed.

I took some medication when I was pregnant and was worried like you because of the warnings on the labels. My daughter is 1 year 1/2 and very well. If you are really worried your GP may be able to reassure you.

I don't have a definitive answer but just wanted to offer you a little reassurance. I had no idea with any of my 3 pregnancies that I had conceived before about 5 weeks and during those initial weeks ate all the 'wrong' things, drank a little too much on occasion and surrounded myself with cigarette smoke as pubs and restaurants then were still full of smokers! And I most likely took ibroprofen too.
Also when pregnant with my last child the guidelines had changed and pregnant mothers were allowed ibuprofen. I was also allowed it this time round when breastfeeding.
Please don't worry yourself too much, stress isn't good for you at anytime.

Hello ladies,
I'm totally freaking out and worrying myself sick as we've just started trying for our 2nd baby and there's a chance we may have conceived over the last few days.
Stupidly, I took 2 nurofen last night for a headache and as soon as I swallowed them realised that you shouldn't take them in pregnancy. I tried to make myself sick but couldn't.
After spending several tearful hours looking online, it seems even just a small dose of ibuprofen around the time of conception can double the chances of a miscarriage and I'm terrified.
I'm so upset and annoyed with myself as I'm so mindful whilst trying to conceive about caffeine, alcohol, etc and take a Pregnacare supplement every day. This is just a stupid and careless mistake that I am scared could have serious repercussions.
I just wondered if anyone else has taken ibuprofen in very early pregnancy and what the outcome was?
Thank you
