BFP and cold medicine and nurofen plus?

[Jaycee]

I took cold and flu tablets before I knew I was pregnant with this one and everything is fine so far, don't fret too much, oh and congratulations!!

Congrats on the BFP and loads of

I think it will be ok, Ibuprofen (key ingredient in Nurofen) is a Category C in pregnancy and only really contraindicated in the 3rd trimester. Am not sure on Codral as I'm not entirely certain of the key ingredients but should be ok. If you are still in pain, you can safely use paracetamol and codeine (panadeine etc).

Gosh, I had so many medications, drinks, food that you're not allowed to have when pregnant before I did my Pos preg test! Whoops.
It must happen ALL THE TIME! So many women wouldn't know they're pregnant and just live life as normal.
Baby is still here tho, and healthy and normal..... due in 10 weeks. so I was worrying for no reason.

Thank you everyopne for your replies. Todays test is even darker so that is looking hopeful.

Hey,
I was told straight away to stop taking Nurofen (I was living off it!!!) and any other ibuprofen products so I had to stop taking voltaren too... It can cause a miscarriage and is not safe in pregnancy as I have been told by every single professional I have asked. I have bad back problems and was relying on vol. n nurofen plus to get me through the day so it sucked but all we can take is panadol pretty much.

I'd just be really careful cause you may be the one in one thousand that it affects!

and a huge CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
