took prenatal pills late. found out late. worried

I found out i was pregnant within almost 3 months of pregnancy. As soon as i found out, i started taking my prenatal pills but i found out pretty late. Will that effect my baby?
Since i heard its really important to take it the first trimester.

Also, the first month i didnt no i was pregnant & i had cramps & for 2 days i took ibuprofen since i thought my period was coming in. Did it effect the baby?

Btw. Its my first pregnancy!

Relax hun! I was the same with my prenatal pills. At that age the baby doesnt need much nutrients. Try to remember they are about the size of a poppy seed and that will ease your mind about starting prenatals late. The ibrupofen probably didnt affect it either mainly because you are still in the early weeks. But make sure you dont take anymore.

You're fine hun. Before I knew I was pregnant I smoked weed, did recreational drugs, alcohol, ... but soon as I found out,  I stopped and began taking my prenatals.  Healthy babies. Long term use of anything harmful may cause complications, so a dose or two of ibruprofen didn't hurt. Long as baby looks good on ultrasounds & everything you're good.

I already had an ultrasound in the hospital. Doctor said every thing was good.

To be honest most people do not find out about their pregnancy until they are headed into their 2nd trimester. That little one should be fine. When do you have your first ultrasound??
