Had a bad headache yesterday and was about to take something but then got scared. Im 14 weeks. Just want to know is it actually harmful for the baby in pregnancy? will check with doc before taking anything.
Since IVF pregnancies are so delicate, I was told to avoid all self-medication. Paracetamol is commonly given, but please let your doctor prescribe it so you have total peace of mind.
My doctor gave me paracetamol when I had body pain, and my baby is a healthy toddler now. Just make sure you don't take it regularly without your gynac's approval.
It is generally safe, but keep your doctor in the loop. Also, if you have a fever, stay hydrated with fresh coconut water and home-made soups instead of packaged juices.
I had a bad fever during my 2nd trimester and my gynac prescribed paracetamol. It is safe, but never self-medicate during pregnancy—always get the prescription from your doctor.
I accidentally took one paracetamol before knowing I was pregnant and panicked so much! My doctor laughed and said it is completely safe. Still, ask your doc before taking more.
Hey, don't worry, paracetamol is generally considered safe if you have a mild headache or fever. But just drop a quick WhatsApp message to your gynac to confirm the brand and dose first, okay?
Usually gynacs say paracetamol is relatively safe, but because of my complicated PCOS history, I never took any pill without asking my doctor first. Please call your doc before taking it.
