QUESTION! So my OB office suggests their pregnant patients to only use Tylenol for headaches so I was wondering if any of you have taken other pain medicine such as Aleve or ibuprofen occasionally for a head ache
Dont take ibuprofen!. I took it with my first pregnancy not knowing and it had me in the hospital. Then with my second i had severe headaches everyday for almost two months n Tylenol wasnt helping so i ask my ob if it would be ok for me to take one every so often if i telling needed n he agreed hesitantly and like 6 weeks later i went for checkup he gave me a sono just because he wanted to see why my baby wasn't really active n he said just me taking the few ibuprofen i did the baby had very little water.
Ibuprofen, aleve, advil, ect can cause lots of problems with baby, particularly heart problems that's why they advise so strongly against its use during pregnancy... it sucks, I know, especially because weak ass Tylenol rarely helps with these headaches!
