Ibuprofen Question - Page 2

I was given ibuprofen and dihydrocodeine and paracetamol for after the birth. (infected episiotomy, OUCH!) so I guess all those things are safe to use with breastfeeding.

Ibuprofen... how I miss it

I used to take it for pain all the time, but then I had a flare up with my lungs, and I haven't been able to have it since. It was so good for pain.

Tylenol is about all I could take - even after pregnancy, even though it seems weaker than ibuprofen.

So envious of you ladies who can take it again

thats good that you can take it while breastfeeding, if i am one of the "lucky ones" to get their period back right away, it's the only thing that makes me cramps go away.

you might check with you dr. mine actually told me to take 800mg of motrin due to the horrible headaches I was having that were unreleaved by tylenol. There is a certain trimester. the third I think but the rest are fine. Check to be sure.

I'm quite happy being ibuprofen free through pregnancy... It's just not worth the risk. but I know i will be very sore and sorry after birth and WILL want it then
