Question

im like 6 or 7 weeks pregnant and i have been getting a lot of head aches. i drink a LOT of water but i still get them. what is something safe i can take for it?

Answer 1

You can take tylenol for headaches but my doctor said as little as possible during the first trimester. Only because no testing has been done as far as medicines and there effects in the first trimester.

I had awful headaches for the first few months but thankfully they are gone now.

good luck

Answer 2

tylenol, the regular one

Answer 4

Tylenol ... regular or extra strength is fine.  Just limit your intake if you can.  

Answer 5

well headaches are common during pregnancy there will be plenty of them. I remember I was too scared to take anything so I wont hurt my baby but the doc assured me that  tylenol is safe and harmless.  

Answer 6

I think regular tylenol is ok, but always call the advice nurse before you take anything.

Answer 7

Tylenol =)

Answer 8

Oh the headaches!  My doc said I could take 2 extra strength Tylenol.  That's it.

Answer 9

I have heard if you drink 2 cups of gatorade your head ache will go away. But ask doc if it is ok. I don't see why it would not be. : )

Answer 10

talk to your doctor. if tylenol doesn't help then your doctor can give you fiorect. it is a migraine medicine that is safe to take while pregnant.  

Answer 11

tylenol.

Answer 12

I had one dr tell me Extra Strength Tylenol.  And then another tell me just regular Tylenol.  So, either way, I think you'd be safe with Tylenol. :)  If you don't want to take medicine, try some warm milk.

Answer 13

I assume Tylenol is the US brand name for plain old paracetamol (I'm in Australia and haven't seen Tylenol around). Just check the ingredient list- paracetamol 500mg is safe to take throughout pregnancy. You can also go to your local pharmacist and ask- they have a list of everything you can and can't take.
