Got a really bad headache since morning and im 14 weeks. Usually I just take panadol but now thoda scared to take anything without asking. Did your gynac allow it? pls share
I'm in my second trimester, and my gynac is super strict about taking any medicines. She said if it's not prescribed, don't take it. Are you having a lot of discomfort? Maybe try resting first and then talk to your doc.
Oh Panadol? This is actually one question I've been meaning to ask my gynac too! I hear so many mixed things from friends, so I'm a bit confused what's really safe. Best to clarify with the doctor na, before anything.
For any medicine, especially during pregnancy, my advice is always quick call to your doc. Don't waste time wondering or asking others. They'll tell you exactly what's okay and what's not for your specific situation. No risks, pls.
Instead of medicines, if it's a mild headache, sometimes a nice cup of ginger chai or even a small scoop of ice cream helps me feel better! But seriously, if it's persistent, you should always check with your gynac.
My doctor told me paracetamol is generally considered safe but only if absolutely necessary, and always after confirming with her. She said never to self-medicate. So pls call your doc first.
