Yikes! Tylenol is very hard on the liver, so please contact your doctor and tell him how many you took so he can check your liver. Its a simple blood test and it is very important that you do this if you actually took more than six Tylenol all at the same time.
With some pain relievers, such as ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin) or naproxen (Alleve, Nuprin), you can greatly exceed the maximum doses on the bottle and it is safe, as long as you are NOT pregnant, of course. In fact, these drugs are routinely prescribed by doctors at higher doses (for non-pregnant people). However, Tylenol is NOT considered safe at higher doses because it is so hard on your liver.
It is true that Tylenol is generally safer than other pain relievers and less likely to cause cardiac and bleeding problems, and much safer during pregnancy, but the downside is it is VERY HARD on the liver. For this reason, you should never exceed the recommended dosages on the bottle.
I also agree with the previous posting that you should find out why your headaches are so severe. Call your doctor, and good luck with everything! Be careful and take care of yourself!

Your baby is fine then. Tylenol is what your suppose to take when your pregnant. I would however talk to your doctor about your headaches if they are a regular occurrence.

you will be fine. Tylenol is safe to take while you are pregnant, but only if you have to. we are not doctors, you need to ask one.
