Always ask you OB but there is a chart that lists what certain medical organzitions have GENERALLY approved for both pregnancy adn for breastfeedign at www.kellymom.com . If I find the specific page Ill add it back.

Pretty much pain meds are out during the whole pregnancy. You even have to be careful about cold medicine, Ibuprofin, Antibiotics etc. I believe the only thing they say is safe is Tylenol. BUT CHECK WITH YOUR DR> BEFORE YOU TAKE ANYTHING!!

Take NOTHING without consulting with your obstetrician first. PARTICULARLY in the first few months of pregnancy. During these first few months, the baby is forming all of his or her most vital organs, limbs, features, everything. It's a very delicate balance, and anything you put into your body can mess this up.
Talk to your doctor before you take so much as a Tylenol.

When I was about a month and 1/2 pregnant I got a terrible migraine and went to the ER. They gave me Vicodin??? I was real afraid to use it but they assured me that as long as I didn't abuse it, it would be o.k. I got migraines at least once or twice a month and just took the minimum amount to get the edge off. Also, my OB okayed it too. P.S. my son is 3 and fine.....

Pain killers like aspirin or Tylenol are accptable in moderate doses. Other medicines need a clearance from your doctor to eliminate genetic defects from developing and or other complications from arising.

dont take any medication without the knowledge of a doctor, he will be the only person to advice you and he should be the only person you take advice from regarding medication. Good luck with your pregnancy.

You should not take anything other than Regular Strength Tylenol and your prenatal vitamins during your pregnancy unless otherwise prescribed by your physician.

the only pain killers safe during pregnancy are paracetamol (i think its called tylenol in america)
No other medication should ever be taken without prior advice from you doctor to check if its ok or not.
no ibuprofen, codine or asprin is recomended at all during pregnancy .
please speak to your doctor is you have any concerns about which meds are safe to take .

you shouldnt take anything that your DR doesnt give the OK on. as soon as you know you're pregnant you should stop..if you are having pain or sickness you need to talk to you OBGYN and get what meds they approve or prescribe you to take only.

I would consult with your doctor to what OTC you can take. It's better to be safe than sorry.
