I had a bad headache in my second trimester and my doc said taking paracetamol is safe. But please don't take it on your own. Always call your gynac first to ask for the correct dosage.
Normally, doctors do allow paracetamol for fever or body pain, but self-medication is not good right now. For mild headache, try drinking water or resting in a dark room first. If it's too much, call your doc.
I can only tell you what happened in my case—my doctor allowed me to take one tablet of paracetamol when I had a bad cold. But every pregnancy is unique, so please consult your doctor before swallowing any medicine.
Yes, paracetamol is generally considered safe during pregnancy, but only when absolutely necessary. When I had a fever, my doctor prescribed it to me. Better to check with your own doctor before taking any pill.
When you are already feeling so sick, a headache just makes it worse. My doctor had told me paracetamol is fine to take occasionally, but she made me promise to call her before taking it. Do ask your doc first, dear.
Oh, I freaked out when my doctor wrote me paracetamol for back pain, thinking it would harm my baby. But it's actually the safest painkiller during pregnancy. Just get the okay from your gynac first!
