It might be too early to have an effect on your baby, but in the future just be careful with how much medication you take. Tylenol is probably the safest thing, if your going to take anything at all, to take when you are pregnant. I don't think that the Tylenol will affect your baby, even though the first and third trimesters are the ones that anything you take into your system have the most effects on your baby. I am sure you will be just fine. I am pregnant and was/is am/are a light smoker and drinker, and before I knew I was pregnant, I still did some smoking, and my baby is very healthy. Also, it is said that a little bit of alcohol (not hard alcohol, of course) every now and then during your pregnancy will not hurt your baby, and sometimes even suggested. So don't worry. You will be just fine.

Tylenol is between the mildest and safest discomfort meds available, and is regularly seen secure for the period of being pregnant and jointly as breastfeeding. Tylenol PM isn't a extra suitable discomfort med, in spite of the shown fact that it additionally has a nap help. As late on your being pregnant as you're, and because you took a typical dose and not a team extra, it particularly is possibly ok; yet save song of your toddler's strikes and kicks to be certain.

6 or more........
Breathe stormie mommie Breathe
How old are you? Why on Earth would you need to take 6 tylenol at the same time? Wait till you get to LABOR......I'm sure its fine, tylenol is like the only thing that you can take while pregnant anyways so most likely if you didn't take more than the max amount in a 24 hour period, then its fine....however, TELL YOUR DOCTOR!
p.s. not to be mean but relax and try the spell check button....some of what you wrote was kind of hard to read.

You took them all at once? Or did you take them two by two. Because it's ok for you to take Tylenol even when you are pregnant...I took Tylenol when I was pregnant, because I had a fever...and when you have a fever it's not good for the baby, if you don't bring it down....but 6 Tylenol or more? I really hope it wasn't all at the same time.

At this point in the pregnancy, if anything is going to have a serious effect, you'll just miscarry because you're not far along at all. If you're still pregnant you're probably fine.
I doubt it'd be a problem anyway. In the last month of my pregnancy I took quite a few Tylenol 3's because I had developed migraines. The nurses told me it wouldn't have any effect.

6 pain killers have no more of an effect than 2. just some knowledge for the future. on the plus side, Tylenol is what you are supposed to take while pregnant, IF you need it at all. i would tell the doctor when you go in for your appointment.

The recommended dose of tylenol is ok during pregnancy. You took a lot, but it's probably ok. Don't do that again. And talk to your dr about it at the first visit. When I was barely pregnant--I was taking and antibiotic to get over a sinus infection. When I suspected I might be pg--I stopped. My Dr brushed it off. I think is a difference between taking drug abuse...and taking 6 tylenols....but please be careful now.

Did you take 6 Tylenol at once? If you did that can seriously damage your kidneys.
The right dosage of Tylenol is okay to take if your pregnant.

Ummm if you are taking that many tylenol you should be worried about your liver I hope you don't do that often I think the baby should be okay but be careful in the future...and keep in mind too much medicine does not make it more effective.okay enough with the lecture good luck with the rest of the pregnancy.
