What's the deal with Tylenol andTylenol PM?
I feel myself getting a headache (something I never get, thank you again you lovely pregnancy hormones).
What's up with Tylenol? I know I read on here it is safe to take and my doc said so also, but what makes it okay to take?
Also, I only have Tylenol PM in the house. Can I take this?
Thanks

My dr. okayed Tylenol and Tylenol PM (and also Benadryl). I believe that we can't take ibuprofen (Advil) or aspirin. Tylenol has neither.
If I have a headache, I take Tylenol PM. However, I do try to limit it to when I need it only.

My Dr said something along the lines of : the molecules in Tylenol don't get broken down and absorbed through the placenta as other meds do. I asked on Friday because I too have been getting bad headaches and was afraid to take Tylenol too many days in a row. She said it's okay, I shouldn't suffer with a headache because I'm afraid of taking it too many days in a row.

tylenol pm has benadryl in it, which is ok to use, but will probably make you sleepy.
