A short course of ibuprofen (up to 3 days) may be OK, but it will depend on how many weeks pregnant you are and the reason you need to take the medicine.

Always talk to a doctor or pharmacist before taking ibuprofen if you're pregnant. Your doctor can advise you about the benefits and possible harms of taking it.
