I am about 10 weeks pregnant and have had a headache for 4 days, I cannot sleep at night either. The last time I was pregnant I remember it was only safe to take Tylenol but that was 4 years ago...is it safe to take Advil yet? Tylenol has never worked for me and I'm only able to take Advil for any results. Help!!

If you have had a headache for 4 days you need to see a doctor. Typically a headache will not last that long.
But Yes it is only safe to take Tylenol. Advil and other medications like that are blood thinners and that is why you shouldn't take them.
You need to see a doctor about your headache.

No Advil, it is just another name for ibuprofen. You should only take Tylenol while pregnant.
If your headache has not gone away yet I would try some other complimentary things like warm bath, heating pad, massage, calm quiet dim room. If nothing else works and you still have your headache then maybe something else is going on. Do you have high blood pressure?? That could cause a headache.
I hope this info helps. Good Luck I hope your headache goes away.

Only Tylenol, but still ask your doctor about using it. Advil thins the blood like aspirin, but not as bad. Don't take anything while pregnant unless you ask first!!, Doctors will prescribe you loritabs while your pregnate for the pain, Im shure Tylenol will not hurt you, aspirin id check on!

Only Tylenol. I would call your dr and tell them about your headaches. I had them really bad also in the beg. of my pregnancy but just had to deal with them. Good luck and hope you feel better soon.

Sorry, just Tylenol. You might be having a caffeine withdrawl, since the headache has lasted that long. Try drinking a little caffeine and see it that helps.

stick with tylenol. Aspirin products thin the blood as well and can cause hemorraging after delivery but here is a yahoo link. You probably could have researched this and saved your 5 points:
