Q: Taking Meds When Pregnant

This morning I took 600mg of motrin and one flexeril for severe back pain. I found out last week that im 4 weeks pregnant. I haven't seen a obgyn yet but I did make an appt. I know im not supposed to take anything but tylenol, but my back was killing me. I think I pulled it this morning lifting something. This is my 1st pregnancy and I dont want to hurt the baby, but I needed some relief and was previously prescribed these meds by my pcp. I know many people have taken meds early in their pregnancy because they dont know they're pregnant yet. What should I do? I already took the meds.

You cant change the past. Just donttake anymore until you consult your doctor and also let them know what you have taken. They will probably tell you not to worry about it.
