Got a bad headache since yesterday and im barely 6 weeks. Thoda scared to take anything in early pregnancy na, dont want to risk it. Will ask my gynac also but wanted to hear from you all first.
My MIL always suggests ginger tea or pathimugham water for small aches, which is very comforting. But when I had a bad cold and mild fever, my doctor told me paracetamol is perfectly fine to take. Just drop a quick message to your gynac before taking it, sister, it keeps u stress-free.
For minor headaches, I always preferred putting cold compresses or resting in a dark room instead of taking medicine. But if u have a high fever, that can be risky for the baby, so pls contact your gynac immediately. Paracetamol is safe but only when the doctor tells u the right dose.
Oh I had to take one paracetamol in my 8th week because of a terrible headache, and I felt so guilty and anxious after that! My gynac reassured me it is totally safe, but I still worry sometimes. Did any of u also take it in your first trimester and everything was fine?
Practically speaking, paracetamol is considered the safest painkiller during pregnancy, even in the first trimester. But honestly, as a busy working mom, I'll tell u not to just pop pills to save a clinic visit. Call your gynac, confirm the brand and dose, and then take it.
I recently delivered my baby boy and honestly had a mild fever in my 6th week. My gynac told me paracetamol is safe, but only in the specific dose she prescribed. Please dont take any pill on your own, always ask your doc first because the first trimester is very sensitive.
I am planning my pregnancy right now and was actually researching this same thing last week. Most articles say it is safe, but my doctor friend strictly told me that even for normal fever or body pain, we must take the doctor's okay first. What did your gynac suggest?
Ugh, the first trimester headaches were the worst, and I am still dealing with backaches now in my 9th month! Paracetamol is usually what doctors suggest, but I never took it without texting my gynac first. Better to double check with your doctor than regret later, our bodies are so weird right now.
