Yea, her baby will be fine. they say to take it easy on the IBPROFEN and ADVIL during 1st and 3rd trimesters. but occasionally for a headache is ok. I take 400mg. probably 1X a week for inflammation on my legs. it works fine. and I've done this since my BFP.. no problems so far, but I won't be taking it in 3rd trimester.

you will be fine even if you were pregnant, one dose wont hurt you, its the people thattake it the whole time. i actually really dont know what the reason is for not taking advil, im not sure of the effects on the baby, all i know is my dr said no no

Oh my.. My cousin took advil when she was pregnant. Didn't know until she was 8 weeks that she was pregnant. Do you think her baby will be ok now? She's a few months along now.
