What would you do? Tylenol and PG?

So I called the OB about my chronic headaches and she said to take tylenol and see if it gets better.  If it doesn't see wants to see me tomorrow.

I don't normally take anything during pg.  Urgh... I guess I have to try it...

It's just Tylenol, it's not really that bad.

Tylenol is perfectly fine, hence your doc's OK on it.  I took it during all 4 of my pregnancies with our kids & they are relatively normal, LOL!

Take it with some coca-cola.

If Tylenol doesnt seem to work they can prescribe Fioricet.  I had brutal headaches with my 1st pregnancy and again with this one.

See if it at least helps. That sucks.

Tylenol is perfectly safe during pregnancy, I would take it and see if it works.

This is what I had to do when I was pregnant with R.

Yeah, no worries with Tylenol - just make sure you stick to the dosing schedule.  My OB gave me a big list of stuff I can take while PG and Tylenol's right at the top of the list.  Hope you feel better!

I had a 3 day headache when I was about 8w. I took 1 Tylenol that took the edge off for a little while.

What really helped was an herbal roller thing from Bath & Body. It was a gift, but it's label is red & white. It's mainly peppermint. I put that on my temples and neck. Seemed to help more than the Tylenol.

My ob said Tylenol was fine. Even Tylenol PM at night, BUT Tylenol has not helped me at all. I have had a headache for the past 5 days. Last night I fell asleep with a cool cloth on my head and although I was able to fall asleep, I still woke up with one. She also told me to let her know if the Tylenol continues to not work. I have heard of pg women taking Vicodin too.
