tylenol in first trimester

JJ1973 · December 2009

I have a killer headache and would rather not have it ruin my day. Is tylenol safe during the first trimester?

It is on my dr's list of safe meds to take while pg. I actually just took some this morning. Feel better

Very safe. My doctor told me to not take anything else except Tylenol for pain/fevers.

They usually say yes to regular Tylenol though and not Extra Stength. You have a lower limit on what's safe (from 4000mg per day pre-PG to 2000mg while PG).

i actually called my obgyn yesterday at 7:30 in the am because i am terrbily sick and needed to see if there was anything i could take.

i am 6 weeks tomorrow and she told me i could either take 2 regular strength tylenol or 1 extra strength (one extra strength is only 1 1/2 times stronger than a regular).

good luck and feel better!

Yes! I was in the hospital last week and this week and both times it was what they gave me for fevers & a headache. They just try and give as low a dose as possible. But out of all pain meds, Tylenol is supposed to be the safest for pregnancy (any trimester).
