Ok, so this might be a stupid question, but....
I know we can take Tylenol, but can we take extra strength tylenol or the rapid release Tylenol?
Thanks

Re: Headache remedies
Yes , I just took 2. I took them during my first pregnancy a lot as well for headaches. My RE and OB said it was fine.
Feel better!

I was told by my doctor that I can take Tylenol but it can't be extra strength.

A cup of coffee works wonders when I have a headache!

Re: Headache remedies
In all 3 of my pregnancies, I took 2 extra strength Tylenol (or generic equivalent). In cases of a really bad headache or migraine, I would also drink a diet coke for the caffeine.

Regular Tylenol paired with a cup of a java does the trick for me...

I was told 1 extra strength or 2 regular strength tylenol are fine. Doesn't matter if it's rapid release or not. I usually take one extra strength rapid release tylenol when I need something.
The only day my last pregnancy I took two extra strength tylenols was when my back was KILLING me one day at the very end (I was 39+5)... turns out I was in labor and my daughter was born just after midnight the next morning lol. I didn't even know.

I occasionally take one extra strength Tylenol if I have a really bad headache. I had a fever once during my pregnancy and my doctor told me to keep taking tylenol as directed until it went away

A bit of caffine does the trick usually. If not I take one extra strength and wait an hour or so. If I need a second one I'll take it.
