Its only ibroprufen & co-codamol (or anything with codine in) that you're supposed to avoid because of the affect it can have on a growing baby. They tell you this really early on.
Paracetamol with a kick of caffine in them are the best when you're newly pregnant because they get rid of the early pregnancy headaches & give you a little energy boost when you're exhausted x
ive been presctibed co codamol. by the consultant. and was given them in hospital they told me there save to take. now im worried they have harmed my baby
Codeine tends to be avoided in the third trimester as it can (can, not will!) cause baby to get a little sleepy. It is "allowed" in preganancy though.
I do wonder why the women in the study were taking the brufen though. Other health problems, or maybe abdo pain... I'm not sure this study demonstrates a clear cause and effect.
Having said that, I'd prob avoid to be on the safe side!
I stopped taking Ibuprofen in the 2WW a couple of years ago, as I had heard that there was a link. Don't like to think that I'm doing anything to scupper my chances!
