[quote=Anonymous]Motrin is in the same class of drugs as indocin.  This medication is used to help pregnant patients before 32 weeks with preterm labor.  It stops the conversion of arachodonic acid to prostoglandins that cause uterine contractions. In the second trimester, if used greater then 48 consistently ie every 6-8 hours the blood flow to the kidneys decreases and the amniotic fluid decreases.  Doesn't sound like you are taking that much.  When you go for you level 2 have them check the fluid around the baby if it looks fine I wouldn't worry too much. Its not used after 32 weeks because it can prematurely close the ductus arteriosis which Connects the aorta and the pulmonary artery.  In preterm infants that have a patent ductus they will actually give oral motrin or iv indocin to close the PDA.  Yes it's a blood thinner but you wont die from taking it and having a c/s.hope this helps...pretty sure you and your baby will be just fine.  For now, just stick to Tylenol.  Sorry for the Poor spelling.[/quote]
