40 weeks pregnant taken ibuprofen!!

[user1493721527]

As the title says I'm 40 weeks and 2 days pregnant, I've had terrible tooth ache so I just grabbed a couple of ibuprofen, it wasn't until I had already taken them that I looked at the back of the box and it says you can't take them in the third trimester at all! I googled the reasons why you shouldn't take them, kinda scared myself now! Should I be worried or will one dose be okay?

I really doubt one dose will be a problem, but call your midwife to put your mind at rest.

I will give her a ring and just see what they say. Thank you

As Marcine said, I doubt a small does will do any harm. But call your midwife if you're worried.

The NHS says to talk to your midwife, just to get things checked out: www.nhs.uk/chq/Pages/2398.aspx?CategoryID=54

Just spoke to my midwife she said one dose should be fine but to take paracetamol from now on, really should of read the box before taking them but I didn't think, but midwife doesn't seem worried over one dose so that's good
