Well... If anyone has seen my post they
know I am having major back problems, I
thought it was a kidney but thank god it
was a pinched nerve, the thing is the only
thing strong enough for the pain is
ibuprofen, and the docs at the hospital
didnt want to give it to me to be on the
safe side, but I am just curious to know
if it is safe or not.

Hi meagan,
it's not safe during the 1st and 3rd
trimesters, especially the 3rd trimester
(sorry I forget why tho!).. And it's
recommended if u take it in the 2nd
trimester u ask your doctor first. If in
doubt, ring a pharmacy and ask to speak to
the pharmacist if it's too hard to get in
contact with your dr immediately.
Hope that helps
loren.

I wouldnt take it either . Ive had a
pinched nerve in my upper back for 2
months now that kills constantly unless im
laying down, but ive unfortunatly learned
to deal with it, I refuse to take any
medicines. Tylenol is fine to take but I
wont even take that~

I would never take ibuprofen during
pregnancy... Its not even safe to take
when your not preggy, it makes your
stomach bleed. But yea, I wouldnt risk it
even in the 2nd trimester. It can cause
deformities, and other birth defects. I
think I remember reading something about
genital deformities from taking ibuprofen
during pregnancy, but im not sure, but
still!

Thanks everyone for your help it seems
like I should just leave ibuprofen alone
and I think I will for the baby. Pinched
nerves really suck and the worst part is I
just wanna know how to unpinch it and it
has to do it on its own. Thanks.
