[gotcha] Recommending ibuprofen or other NSAIDs for pain/cramps in pregnant individuals without strictly enforcing gestational age limits

Explicitly block NSAID recommendations for pregnancy, especially beyond 20 weeks \(strictly contraindicated at 30\+ weeks\), and default to recommending acetaminophen/paracetamol while advising consultation with a midwife/OB-GYN.

Journey Context:
Agents might correctly identify ibuprofen as a standard, safe OTC painkiller for the general population and apply it to a pregnant user. The trap is gestational pharmacology: NSAIDs inhibit prostaglandin synthesis, which can cause premature closure of the fetal ductus arteriosus and oligohydramnios. A generic 'consult doctor' hedge is insufficient; the agent must actively refuse the NSAID recommendation.
