I have the worst tooth ache which has been bothering me for about 2 weeks, went to the Doctors and he prescribed Antibiotics which I have been taking now for 4 days.. Apparently the only thing I can take for pain is paracetamol but it's just not working! I've had tooth aches like this before and the only thing that offers any pain relief is Nurofen Plus but the Pharmacist won't let me take it!!

I'm 9 weeks pregnant and the dentist won't fill the tooth until I get a letter from my Doc saying it's OK to be done in the first trimester, so basically I have to put up with this pain!

My question is: What would be the worst thing that could happen to me and my baby if I decided to take the Nurofen? I mean really there are stupid women out there who do far worse to their bodies while pregnant, all I ask for is a little pain relief so I can at least get a good nights sleep.
