If
you are prone to headaches, then pregnancy could make them worse
or better. Some women report that their headaches get worse with
pregnancy and some report that they go away. Either way, pregnancy
is sure to bring on various aches and pains. Your favorite pain
reliever may not be a good choice for you during this delicate time.
Medication should always be discussed with your doctor, but for
the most part, doctors agree that acetaminophen, or Tylenol, is
safe to use during pregnancy. In fact, Tylenol is usually the only
pain reliever that doctors will recommend to you while you are expecting.
Studies have shown Tylenol to be safe for pregnant
women and their unborn babies if taken properly. As long as you
follow the dosage instructions that come with the medication, you
can use Tylenol throughout your pregnancy and while nursing. Severe
headaches should be reported to a doctor, as they could be associated
with preclampsia, a very serious disease that can occur during pregnancy
and causes high blood pressure.
