Ibprofen use during pregnancy

I would just like to know how many people have been told it's ok to take ibrofen compared to how many who have been told it's not safe. I have heard and seen many discussions concerning pain issues and women saying their ob let them take ibprofen, my ob absolutley will not allow me to take it under any circumstance because it can cause bleeding?? Am I the only one who's heard this?

I believe the IBprofen can cause excessive bleeding especially during labor when used during the last trimester.. My doctor wanted me too take the vicodin before the IB, I know this wasnt the answer you wanted. Let me know how you are doing!

I haven't got a list of do's and don't's yet, but I have been told to not take ibuprofen.

I am told tynelol is okay to take. Advil and pepto bismol are no.

I know ibuprofen is off limits during the 3rd trimester for sure, because (like aspirin) it can cause excessive bleeding during delivery. I don't think you're really supposed to have it before then either (not because of birth defects, but bleeding), but I have heard that some doctors are seeing some positive results using aspirin in the first trimester to help prevent miscarriage.

Tylenol is really the only safe drug during pregnancy unless directed otherwise by your doctor.

Medicmel, I agree! I love ibuprofen! I use it for everything (not like I overdose on it, but it's teh only thing that works). My husband and I call tylenol, tic tacs!

Tylenol is what I have been told. And that is what I stick too :P

I was told no to ibprofin. The only thing I was told to take was Tylenol. I used Advil before getting pregnant for everything! But Tylenol did the same!

Before i was pregnant I took ibuprofen all the time too. I was pretty bummed about only being allowed tylenol. But I discovered that it works just fine too.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
