Can calpol be taken during pregnancy for headache duration?

Question

Been getting bad headaches since 2 days, im in my first trimester. I have calpol at home but scared to take anything without asking. Planning to call my gynac but wanted to know what others did, how long is it okay?

Managing two babies inside with a headache is a nightmare, but please don't self-medicate. Call your doctor's assistant and confirm if you can take it.

I had to be extremely careful with all pills during my pregnancy. Always ask your gynac first before taking any headache medicine to be safe.

Headaches are the worst, but don't play doctor with your bump! Check with your gynac once before popping any Calpol.

I panicked when I got severe headaches in my first trimester and wanted to take Calpol. My doctor said it's safe but gave me a specific mild dosage, so do ask your doctor first.

Since IVF pregnancies are so delicate, I was told never to take any pill without asking my clinic. Please call your doctor before taking Calpol, even for a headache.

Please be very careful with medicines right now. Even if Calpol is common, always get your doctor's green light before taking it.
