@chynaaotto luckily if you can find the root you can normally solve the problem without having to turn to medicines - but some of them take more time than others and that's why there are medications that are formulated to be safe for the fetus while it's still developing. If you're still uncomfortable taking medicine even sparingly but suffer from headaches often I would strongly suggest looking at your a.) Nutrient (specifically WATER, vitamin, and mineral) intake and b.) Your spine!

I firmly believe that there are natural treatments and cures for most ills and ails. I have a lot of little problems with my health (anemia, narcolepsy, HSV-1&2) and the BEST treatments for them are a balanced and nutrient-packed diet (no processed foods and few GMOs) sleep, and water.

Of course, I take pharmaceuticals when necessary but have been able to wean off them more and more the more I fix my overall health.

But I digress - if you have a headache that's too painful to sleep through and food or water doesn't fix it, Tylenol is safe for you and the baby. If you want to do things naturally, consider your fundamentals and fix where they err for the future!

Sorry for the long ass comment I get really passionate sometimes :x

@scared_shtless, see thats the same with me! I hate medication, especially cause im pregnant! It scares me!

@chynaaotto whenever I have a headache that's the first thing I turn to!! A glass of water, maybe two wait it out another 20 minutes, if I still feel bad I'll try to nap (with me it could be sleep deprivation) and lately over-sleeping will do it too, and I just need to get up and move around! Or put my glasses on :P Consider blood sugar levels too!

If nothing else works I'll schedule an appointment with the chiropractor because I tend to be tense which pulls and pushes my spine all out of wack and if your neck bones aren't aligned properly it can be a huge contributor to headaches! And chiropractics do wonders for your overall health, especially during pregnancy.

Normally Tylenol doses should be 2/time (I only take one bc I do not like chemicals and usually pain will go away enough for sleeping a headache off) no more often than every 4-6 hours. If they are not doing the trick with all things considered (the aforementioned) definitely ask your doc!

@scared_shtless, sleep i get a good amount, my water in the other hand should probably be a little more

You can take two 500mg every four hours up to 4 times a day. As long as The acetaminophen levels doesn’t exceed 4000 mg per day

The recommended dosing on the bottle still applies.

How much water are you drinking and sleep are you getting?

You can Google or look at the package for exact numbers but I think it's 4-6 a day but a certain number in gaps between when you take it .. even if it's late call your obs office and ask them to be sure .. benedryl also helps to me more than Tylenol .. if you can't go to sleep then and there only take 1 .. 2 made me tired
