The safest over-the-counter pain medication that you can use in pregnancy is acetaminophen, usually sold under the brand name Tylenol. Make sure not to take more than the maximum recommended dosage of 4000 mg in one day. Advil should not be taken, especially in the 3rd trimester.

No. Advil (ibuprofen) or Aleve (naproxyn sodium) can increase your risk of bleeding. Take Tylenol for a headache, and start with one. If one doesn't work take another one in 45 minutes. If that doesn't work, check with your dr. The headaches are probably from the increased amounts of estrogen in your body right now. I had horrible "estrogen headaches", as my OB called them, when I was pregnant with my twins. Hang in there, just 3 more weeks to go. You're almost there!

It is better to avoid and not take any risk at this time.Whenever a headache strikes drink lots of water .Lack of oxygen may have lead to your headache. Place a few ice-cubes in a polythene bag, and apply this on the forehead and temples. Check out http://useinfo-headache.blogspot.com/ for more info

There is no medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.
Acidity, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis,
Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy are their causes. None of them can be treated with medicine.
Acupuncture is the best treatment. I can treat it with naturopathy, YOG and Ayurved, but how can you manage pl see.
But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves' juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it isvery strong.

no i would stick with Tylenol, that is usually what a doctor says is okay. but just in case consult your doctor. If Tylenol is not working for you your physician may be able to prescribe something else that is safe. But your almost there....congrats and good luck with the new baby coming soon.

I wouldnt suggest advil, most doctors say that regular tylenol is okay, but TYLENOL not the generic stuff. Consult your doctors first....you could call your local E.R. and ask them, wouldnt hurt :)
