For right now, all three are okay.
When you are about 20 wks pregnant, you will want to stop sleeping on your back. This causes the baby to compress the inferior vena cava, which slows (not stops) circulation to your lower extremeties and your baby. If you wake up like this, dont' panic, you're okay. Just flip over onto your (left reduces acid reflux) side. As for the Tylenol, Tylenol is fine throughout your pregnancy, but I always cut down when I am pregnant. I live through headaches more, before I take a Tylenol. Candy is always good:) Although your dentist won't agree. Who cares what they think, though? Just be sure to see a dentist while you're pregnant, because tooth decay can cause premature birth, and you often get gum disease when you're pregnant, too.
Good luck

I called the TeleHealth line (Ontario) because I had a wicked bad headache and didn't want to bother my doctor. The Registered nurse told me that they only recommend regular strength Tylenol. I only took one and then waited to see if it would go away.
Sure you can eat candy, in moderation. Just like before you were pregnant.

I would suggest not to fall asleep on your back. It puts pressure on your spine... and might make you dizzy even as you lie down. As for the Tylenol... you would need to talk to your doctor about that. The doctor will inform you what is safe and what isn't safe for you to take during your pregnancy. Good luck!!

Laying on your back is ok, as long as you dont lay on your back all the time.
Tylenol is fine dearing pregnance, as long as you dont take to much..
Candy is fine, just as long as you dont eat much of it..

You're probably in the clear, but unless a doctor answers your question I would go see one and ask he/she. Why take the advice of risk takers, or someone who's done it once? Your baby and you may have special circumstances.
By the way, congratulations.

Do your parents know? Ask them, they will know the best.
