What Are Effects Of Taking Mefenamic Acid During Initial Pregnancy Stages?

Hi, I found out late August thar I was pregnant for the first time. I got worried because I remember taking 2 500Mg capsules of mefenamic acid on a24-hour window during the firstvweek of Aug for a toothache. I am worried that it has harmed my baby. Do you have any advise and is there a test I can take to check the development of my baby? Thanks
