I just looked on the Anadin website for you, and it said to check with your DR, but that they shouldn't be takne in LATE pregnancy or when bf. I would have said that you shouldn't take it - but if you look at the anadin website it says that you only need to avoid in late pregnancy or if you are breastfeeding. Personally I don't take anything except paracetamol and that hardly ever as I don't find it all that effective.
I wouldn't worry to much if you have already taken them but I wouldn't take them again. Anadin I think have aspirin in.

Can I take Anadin paracetamol while pregnant or breastfeeding? Paracetamol is generally considered safe for short-term use during pregnancy. The researchers suspect that painkillers upset the natural balance of male hormones at work in unborn baby boys and this hinders normal development. Studies of rats back this theory. Dr Henrik Leffers, senior scientist at Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen, who led the research, said: "If exposure to endocrine disruptors is the mechanism behind the increasing reproductive problems among young men in the Western world, this research suggests that particular attention should be paid to the use of mild analgesics during pregnancy, as this could be a major reason for the problems.
Despite some limitations in the study - not all of the women may have accurately recalled how often they took painkillers, for example - the researchers say their findings suggest that advice to pregnant women on analgesic use should be reconsidered. Dr Allan Pacey, senior lecturer in andrology at the University of Sheffield, said: "Scientists have been concerned for some time about chemicals that the mother may be exposed to during pregnancy having the potential to cause reproductive problems in male babies.
Dr Basky Thilaganathan of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists said the findings needed to be interpreted with caution. For example, he explained: "The study shows an association rather than causation; it is entirely possible that mothers took these analgesics for an ailment, for example, a viral infection, in pregnancy that may have been the real cause for the noted problems.
