Can i take advil during pregnancy?
I've been having some aches and pains lately. Usually I would take Advil for this, but I'm pregnant now. Is it safe for me to take Advil while I'm expecting?

Having PCOS makes me extra cautious about what goes into my body. From what I've read, Advil is generally not recommended during pregnancy, especially in the later months. It's always safest to check with your gynaecologist before taking any painkiller.

No, Advil is a big no during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester as it can cause complications for the baby. Stick to what your gynaecologist prescribes and don't self-medicate.

Just like I have to do regular thyroid checkups and follow my doctor's exact advice during pregnancy, you must do the same. Advil is not considered safe for pregnant women. Please speak to your doctor for a safe alternative.

Beta, during pregnancy you should avoid taking strong English medicines like Advil. If you have body aches, try a gentle massage or warm compresses. Always consult your doctor before touching any tablet.
