Can u take anything for a headache while ur pregnant?

Answer 1

yes u can take tylenol

Answer 2

Tylenol regular or extra strength!!!You can take two!

Answer 3

Yes. Tylenol. Do not take Advil or Asprin.

Answer 4

It's not only tylenol that is safe lol!!  Anyway, my dr. prescribes fiorocet which is tylenol, caffeine, and phenobarbital.  I had it prescribed my last pregnancy and know 2 women on it pregnant as I speak.  My dd is fine.. LoL..  No aspirin, motrin, aleeve...  And extra strength tylenol is fine..  Just b/c you are pregnant doesn't mean you have to suffer, talk to your doc if tylenol alone or w/ some cola doesn't help. GL2U!!  

Answer 5

nothing but tylenol, If you HAVE to.

Answer 6

Tylenol! It is the only safe pain medication for pregnant mothers. And it was a lifesaver when I was pregnant!

Answer 7

you can definitely take tylenol as needed. If that does not help and your headache is severe speak with your doctor.  I get severe migrane headaches and my doctor's told me to take excedrin migrane if it gets too bad, b/c the headache would hurt the baby worse than the meds....

but please talk to your doctor, and they will let you personally know what to do in that type of situation (i've only taken in once in my whole pregnancy and i'm 34 weeks.)

Only tylenol not asprin or advil

Answer 10

Answer 11

Tylenol

Answer 12

Answer 13

yes...tylenol is always safe

Answer 14

You can also have a small cup of coffee or soda or chocolate. Soemthing with Caffein. I was getting migrans around my 36-38th week and the doctor suggested regular tylenol but I only had extra strenth so she said that was ok and she said Also one cup of coffee or cafien would be ok daily to try to prevent them.

Good luck

Answer 15

I know that ginger is very good for treating head aches and migraines as well as nausea.  When my sister feels a migraine coming, she can completely avoid a full blown migraine, just by eating ginger.  I also know someone who never used to eat dairy or beef because they were migraine triggers, but now he eats them without worrying about it because all he has to do is eat ginger and it isn't a problem.  I had never experienced the power of ginger first hand until a couple days ago.  I was staying over at a friend's house and had a headache, so I ate a piece of ginger candy and the headache went away.  It was quick and effective.  I wasn't sure if it was safe for pregnant women, so I did a google search and found that some pages say it's safe while others say "It's probably ok in small amounts."  This indicates to me that you should keep it to a minimum and speak with your doctor.  As for how to take ginger, there are a couple ways.  Many grocery stores will sell crystallized ginger in the bulk food section, or elsewhere.  There are also certain candies which are made mostly of ginger and sugar.  One brand is Reed's.  Another is Ginger People.  I prefer Ginger People because Reeds' is too strong in my opinion, but on the other hand, if it's stronger, it's probably more effective.

Bottom line:  Ginger can help a lot, but first speak to your doctor.
