advil! HELP!!!!!

I recently took advil today and yesterday thinking it was Tylenol. I just realised it was advil. I read a bunch online after finding out. They said small does are okay and as long as its before 32 weeks. Has anyone else had this happen or have any information they can help me with? I'm freaked out something is going to happen to my baby. I'm 32 weeks 1 days

A few doses won't hurt you.

Yes I read online that a small dose is okay. I mean I took 2 pills yesterday and 2 today and just realised it was advil. I've read online it causes birth defects and I don't know if I should call L & D or not. He's been moving all day. But I might just be over reacting because I'm a first time mom.

I took Advil and aleve in the beginning of my pregnancy due to bad headaches. But at that time I didn't know I was pregnant. I stopped as soon as I found out I was pregnant and now only take Tylenol if necessary. I was afraid that I had affected the baby by taking Advil and aleve. So far things are going great and no issue with the baby. Not sure how the baby would have been affected after 32 weeks. I'm a first time mom so I'm not sure but I would just check in with the doctor just to be on the safe side and to feel secure.
