Guest guest Posted February 1, 2001 Report Share Posted February 1, 2001 I checked with DH this afternoon about Ibuprofen. You shouldn't take it while pregnant, he says, as it can interfere with the way blood circulates in the baby's body (there's some kind of arrangement to stop blood going to the lungs and to take it to the vessels that supply the umbilicus instead - NSAID's close off this shunt, and they are used in babies where the hole doesn't close at birth as it should). He thinks it can cause brain damage if the blood supply is interfered with, but don't quote him on that!! But as far as he knows breastfeeding is OK Hope this helps P/T SAHM to (6/2/00) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
