It may not, but you should go to your doctor as soon as you can--so you can rest your mind. It's hard--when you don't know you are pregnant. It depends on how many times you used the painkillers---if it were only a few times, it may not have the effect that constantly using them month after month would. Heavy exercises probably won't do anything so early in a pregnancy. I would make an appointment with your doctor and talk about what you can and cannot do now that you KNOW you are pregnant. Good luck!

To be honest, I've never been pregnant. I have some diseases that cause constant pain. I do however, know about pain medications.
Since I know nothing about pregnancy, I decided to be fair before I answered, so I looked it up for you. I found out that it CAN be dangerous - and this is just referring to over the counter. Please, don't freak out because it doesn't necessarily mean anything WILL happen to you or your baby, assuming you've stopped the pain killers.
The BEST thing for you to do, is go to a doctor and talk to him or her. They may even be able to run tests. If you can't afford that, or if you are like, underage and/or afraid to tell parents, etc., there ARE clinics available.
Whatever you do, DON'T keep taking any kind of medications unless a doctor okays it first. It's ALWAYS best to ask a doctor if it concerns a tiny little life because you may get a wrong answer, or decide that it's no big deal and then not worry when maybe you should.
The exercises I don't know if heavy exercising will hurt. That would be another doctor question.
Anything that may be a danger to a life, is a question better left to a professional IN PERSON, mainly because each person is different and "in person", they can run tests for you.

It could, but don't worry about it. So many women do the same thing. When I was 3 1/2 weeks pregnant with my twins, I consumed hard liquor (I never drink) and did heavy exercising. When I found out I was pregnant of course I freaked out!! But my girls were just fine.
So don't worry. Usually if something has affected the baby it will miscarry very early on. You probably wouldn't have even known you were pregnant. So don't worry! Just make sure you don't take anything else unless your dr. says to!
Best Wishes..

Yes. The first 2 weeks is the most crucial. Going to see a doctor won't really help. They can't see anything. It's in God's hands now. I want to also say, I have a 2 year old daughter. I didn't know I was pregnant and drank a lot. I was 2 weeks into the pregnancy when I found out. My daughter is healthy and smart as a whip. I hate to say it, but it's 50/50. (In my opinion)

I took pain killers before I found out and I moved heavy boxes while stocking at work and moving. I am 6 weeks pregnant know and the baby is fine so far. I also got a shot of steroids at the doctor for a sines infection.

I am a 37 yro lady whom has had 4 healthy children. If you were only 2-3 weeks pregnant, I seriously doubt that a pain killer taken then would hurt you..Highly unlikely. As for exercising, do what you do normally, yet in later trimesters of pregnancy, you might have to slow down a bit and go accordinglly.

The Doctor at the first appointment will ask if she has taken any medications in the last..... however many months or weeks she is pregnant.... The Doctor would be better able to tell based on the type of medication. Be honest and up front. As far as exercise if she exercised like that before it should be fine.
Just got this in my inbox in email.....
Painkillers asscociated with birth defects
Aug 29 (Reuters Health) - Women who take common painkillers known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) during the first trimester of pregnancy run an increased risk of having a baby with a congenital anomaly, a Canadian study indicates.
NSAIDs include aspirin as well as drugs like ibuprofen or naproxen, and so-called cox-2 inhibitors.
Study co-author Dr. Anick Berard told Reuters Health, "Given the high prevalence of NSAIDS use in the population in general and during pregnancy and that 50 percent of pregnancies are unplanned resulting in inadvertent exposure to medications at the very beginning of the gestational period, more attention should be given to any type of NSAIDS exposure."
Berard, of St. Justine Hospital in Montreal, and colleagues analyzed information on 36,387 women who delivered singleton infants in Quebec between 1997 and 2003.
As reported in the journal Birth Defects Research (Part B), the team identified 93 births with congenital anomalies among 1056 women (8.8 percent) who filled a prescription for NSAIDS in the first trimester of pregnancy compared with 2478 in 35,331 women (7 percent) who did not.
After taking into consideration other risk factors for birth defects, the investigators calculate that the odds of having a baby with any congenital anomaly was twice as high for women who filled a prescription for NSAIDS in the first trimester as for those who did not.
"The strongest and most consistent findings," the team notes, "were seen with the anomalies related to cardiac septal closure" -- that is, the wall separating the left and right chambers of the heart.
The findings are "in accordance with other epidemiologic studies," Berard and colleagues point out.

if you always do heavy exercises then it shouldn't be a problem, but the heavy dose of painkillers I would go to the doctor just to be sure.

Probably not. An ultrasound would tell you if the heart rate of the baby is normal, and if all seems well. Take it easy for a month or two, and if there is no bleeding or cramping I would say your body protected the baby =)
