Hello ma'am and welcome.
Pain killers are most harmful during pregnancy and so I would first advise you to take tylenol for any pain you have as it is the safest during pregnancy. If at all you have taken only 1 ibuprofen and promise not to take anymore, I do not think your baby should suffer any harm.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
