Advil is a no no! My doc gave me a big binder w/lots of info in it, it doesn't say anything about Motrin, so I'd assume it isnt safe. They specifically state no Advil, aleve or aspirin..

Look on the Advil and Motrin websites for info about contraindications during pregnancy.

Yes, my dr said absolutely not to Advil/Motrin. Tylenol is safe.
