Accidentally took ibuprofen!

Hello. I've just discovered I took ibuprofen last Thursday and Friday. Luckily I've only taken 6 tablets in all over them two days, I was 28wks when I took them. The baby is kicking away still and I feel fine. I did find it unusual for painkillers to work so well but just didn't check for some reason. I have a midwife appointment tomorrow so I'll ask her. Has anyone else accidentally taken some and been fine? I only discovered this as I was trying to find some more at tesco then realised what I had taken. X

I wouldn’t worry too much, you’ve taken them now and if you look at the nhs website it’s a risk and benefit thing and you’re almost 30 weeks
