I have a major tooth problem right now, and have been taking ibuprofen and tylenol until I have all of my wisdom teeth pulled next week. My big concern is that there is a (small) possibility that I am pregnant (my period is not late yet, so I don't know for sure). How can taking the pain medication effect my (possible) baby?? I would stop taking it, but without some pain killer the tooth is unbearable.

I'd be more concerned about the effect of the anesthesia you will be undergoing next week. Make sure you have a pregnancy test before the surgery - some anesthetics are known to cause severe problems for a fetus - and discuss this with the anesthetist a few days before the surgery. Also talk with your maxillofacial surgeon (the one pulling the teeth) to make sure he takes the necessary course of action.
Most painkillers will have some contraindications on the package. If not, call the pharmacist to see if there is a risk to the fetus. I don't think there are problems with an analgesic (Tylenol, etc.). You may wish to look at topical compounds (direct application) as opposed to general compounds (attacks pain everywhere), and make sure you find something safe to take for AFTER your surgery, as the pain will not entirely go away.

It might do a number of matters. The child might be born addicted, might be born with beginning defects, untimely, mind harm, and a quantity of different matters might cross mistaken. Even if the health practitioner did prescribe them, I'm beautiful definite it does not say at the bottle...weigh down and chortle. She in general has a drug hindrance and that is why she was once going into exertions early. Sad.
