Default Migraine + pregnancy

I’m looking for some info bout taking fioricet for my migraine while pregnant? I’m currently 16 weeks pregnant and suffer from very severe headaches. I checked on some info about Tylenol and other pain relievers but found out that they can cause side effects to an unborn baby. I really would like to make sure my baby is ok and my pain won’t hurt him/her too. Any help?

Tylenol is safe to take while pregnant. It is the only pain reliever that is ok to take while pregnant. You can not take extra strength but the regular. If you can not find the regular strength then you can take one extra strength not two. HTH

Try to take the tylenol early with the onset of the headache and drink a regular coke about 1/2 hour after the tylenol. Sometimes the caffeine will kill the headache and it is harmless to your baby.
