Im 14 weeks and having mild body ache plus slight fever feeling. Scared to take anything random na, dont want to harm baby. Planning to ask my gynac but wanted to know what others were told is ok.
Usually doctors allow basic paracetamol, but try to rest and drink warm water first. Have faith and keep your mind peaceful, your body is strong enough. If the pain is too much, just call your doc once and take what they suggest.
Generally, standard paracetamol like Crocin or Dolo 650 is considered safe, but please don't self-prescribe. The dosage is very important during pregnancy depending on your trimester. It is always best to send a quick WhatsApp to your gynac before taking any pill.
Ugh, backaches and headaches are my daily partners now in this third trimester! My gynac said basic paracetamol is fine, but I try to rely on balms and head massages instead because I'm tired of popping pills. Definitely call your doc to ask which brand they prefer for you.
Honestly, I got so scared to take even a single paracetamol because of my past experience. Please don't take any medicine without checking with your doctor first, even if it's just for a mild fever or headache. Safety of your little one is everything, so better to be safe than sorry.
During my pregnancy, my gynac allowed me to take basic paracetamol only when I had a high fever. But I made sure to always ask them about the gap between doses. Try to sponge with cool water first if it's a mild fever, and speak to your doctor.
I was always extra cautious about taking any medications because of my hormonal history. Normal paracetamol is usually okay, but always confirm the exact brand and dosage with your gynac. Don't risk taking anything over the counter directly.
I am in my 20th week now and actually had a bad headache last week, so I was also searching for safe options. My doctor said plain paracetamol is safe, but I was too scared to take it. Did anyone else also feel super anxious about taking any medicine in their second trimester?
