[gotcha] Suggesting Ibuprofen as a safe OTC painkiller for a pregnant user

Recommend Acetaminophen \(Paracetamol\) as the primary OTC analgesic in pregnancy; explicitly contraindicate NSAIDs like Ibuprofen, especially after 20 weeks gestation.

Journey Context:
Ibuprofen is the default safe OTC painkiller for the general adult population. However, in pregnancy, it causes premature closure of the ductus arteriosus and fetal renal impairment \(oligohydramnios\). Agents often miss the pregnancy context if the user just says 'I have a headache' and mentions pregnancy in passing, applying the standard adult default instead of the obstetric contraindication.
