I'm Currently Feeling: | I havent take anything at all so far .. but i guess taking two one time is not doing harm, its regular use like others have said. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Well you can't take back things you've done so theres no point worrying about it IMO. I smoked and drank through the first 7 weeks of my pregnancy (stopped the minute I found out obvs) and everything is fine over here. You could have done a LOT worse.
As the other girls ahve said, it's really unlikely it'll have done any damage. And to back up comeones earlier point, Ive been told to take ibuprofen once as well because I have bad joints in my knees and ankles.
Try not to worry hun

| my doc said that with regular useage it can close the blood veeseels around the heart for the baby,
and u cant use those forehead sticks cos they contain menthol
and there has been no research on menthol and preganacy so
on some packs it says that it isnt recommended while others dont mention it. but my pharamcist told me better be safe than sorry
im sure you and LO will be fine though
just dont keep taking ibruprofen

I'm Currently Feeling: | Hm, I sure hope it's okay! I must've taken about 8 to 10 ibuprofen before I found out I was pregnant and that you can't take them, I'm pretty sure my son is fine though so I don't know why your LO wouldn't be! |

There has been twice she has told me to take ibeprofin to help reduce swelling as it is a great anti-inflamitory, but only for a 12 hour period. My baby is just fine! | Thats what I don't get. People take it as a painkiller... it isn't a painkiller, it is an anti-inflamitory!!! I have boxes in my cuboard because of my arthritis. But I refuse to take it when not pregnant because they have found it may cause heart attacks later in life!! |

| Don't stress too much. I took ibuprofen for about 4 days when I was about 5-6 weeks pregnant because I thought I was getting period cramps. All of my scans and check ups have shown a healthy baby. |
