Paracetemol is completely safe to take during pregnancy as long as you remain within the recommended dose. Basically, it is the only pain killer that doesn't cross the blood-placenta barrier, therefore your baby doesn't get any of it when you take it.

Of course you can take it. As long as you only take paracetamol and no other stronger painkillers, especially not ibuprofen. And only 2 at a time and no more that 6 in a 24hr period. It is the only painkiller recommended while pregnant. Infact I've just had 2 for a splitting headache and im 24 weeks pregnant. Hope you feel better :)

Yes paracetamol is safe during pregnancy. You shouldn't be taking it all day every day but every so often is fine.

Consult the doctor, but in the meantime, check out www.safefetus.com They have a list of safe, approved drugs that can be taken during pregnancy.
