To be honest, Tynenol is the only medicine my doctor would let me take while being pregnant, and now I get to start taking tynenol for everything again (just found out that I am pregnant with my third).
You can take the suggested amount of tynenol, it won't hurt the baby.

I think before you go off taking any medicine while your pregnant you should ask your doctor if its okay. I heard tylenol is alright to take during pregnancy but you can never be to sure, so ask your doc. About the pains after cleaning, you are probably doing to much and getting no rest in between. I suggest when you clean (especially when theres a lot of things to be done) take a few breaks. Sit down for a while, thats probably your body telling you that you worked to hard..

Tylenol is ok while pregnant as long as it's used as little as possible... But you should ask your Doctor to make sure... You're back hurts because you're doing too much.. Trust me... You should just lie down and rest for the next few weeks or try not to over clean anything... you're gonna need your energy when you go into labor and you don't want pulled or strained mussels when that starts....

Tylenol is safe in pregnancy my doc gave me a pamphlet of safe and unsafe things to take in pregnancy for pain Tylenol is the only thing they recommend 4 headaches back pain. but you said DRANK i know it's safe to take 1 to 2 pills but to drink any medication while pregnant may not be wise what kind of Tylenol do you drink? if it had codeine in it I'd ask the doctor.

Tylenol is just fine, infact my doc told me to have the prescribed tylenol 3's when I was having problems with my teeth. No medicine is proven safe for pregnancy but tylenol is one of the most approved for pain. Absolutely no ibuprofen though or aspirin.

I have to take some tylenol almost everyday, because I have arthritis in my knees. So far nothing is wrong with my baby. The doc. told me that tylenol wouldnt hurt him so I think that you will be okay. Hope that you feel better!

Tylenol is okay to take during pregnancy. You are actually allowed to take maximum strength Tylenol. My doctor gave me a list of medication that I'm allowed to take during pregnancy. You can ask your doctor to give you the same list on your next doctor visit.
Even though you are allowed to take medication, you may want to limit your intake during pregnancy.

My doctor told me that tylenol is the only thing that I can take. But I would double check with your doctor just to be safe

Like most of the others have said. It's perfectly fine. My wife is 37 weeks preg, and we've gone throught the Tylonol. It's about the only thing she can take.
