Is ibuprofen safe during pregnancy?

Question

I have a terrible headache today, and I usually take ibuprofen for relief. Now that I'm pregnant, I'm not sure if it's safe for me to take it, should I avoid it completely?

Bharati Doshi · Answer

Please do not take ibuprofen at all as it can be risky for the baby's development. I became extremely careful after my loss, so please call your doctor even for mild pain.

Hey, please don't take ibuprofen! It's not safe for the baby, so talk to your gynac and they will give you something safe like paracetamol instead.

Ibuprofen is a strict no during pregnancy. If you have a headache or body pain, take a quick break, stay hydrated, and call your gynac's assistant to get a safe prescription.
