Having a bad headache since morning and usually i just pop a paracetamol. But now im 14 weeks and scared to take anything without asking. Will confirm with my doc, just wanted to know what others did.
Mostly okay but please confirm the dose with your doctor and dont self medicate repeatedly. If you have a fever that wont come down, that itself needs a doctor check.
My doctor said paracetamol is usually the preferred painkiller in pregnancy when needed, but only in the right dose and not too often. She told me the exact brand and amount. So its generally allowed but please confirm with your own doctor.
I was allowed paracetamol for fever and bad headaches both times, in the dose my doctor told. Dont exceed it and dont mix with other meds. When unsure, just call the doctor.
Paracetamol is generally considered the safer option compared to other painkillers in pregnancy. Still, dont just pop it for everything, take only when truly needed and ideally after asking your gynac. Avoid other random tablets.
