Is it okay to take Tylenol almost everyday in pregnancy?

Question

pregnancy?" /> 
I take it for muscle pain, cramping , back pain and HEADACHES, migraines are the main reason I take them. I have bad migraines everyday.

Answer

My Dr told me to use it sparingly. You can try a chiropractor or increasing morning hydration for the headaches.

Answer

Talk to your OB. I recently started taking magnesium for headaches. It’s helped a lot. I was getting horrible migraines and BAD tension headaches (never have had headaches in my life or with any of my other pregnancies). She started me on 500mg daily, and it’s been great. 
Technically, you can take a few thousand mg of Tylenol a day, BUT generally speaking meds like acetaminophen, ibuprofen, naproxen are (as one of the nurse practitioners I work with says) “liver killers” if you take more than directed or take them all the time. If you can avoid them, definitely stay away. Obviously, Tylenol is the only option out of the bunch that’s safe during pregnancy, but it’s a good rule to follow regardless of pregnancy status. If you have diseases or conditions that affect your liver (hepatitis, hemochromatosis, cirrhosis, etc), then you should REALLY avoid those meds. Also, long-term use of acetaminophen has been associated with increased risk of ADHD and ASD in some studies. Could it use further studying? Yes. But, we know that Tylenol crosses the placenta freely. We don’t know at what gestation and at what doses these risks increase. We also know Tylenol has been found in cord blood and fetal liver, so toxicity seems to have pretty great potential if use of the med is regular or excessive.

Answer

A certain amount of Tylenol is safe but as for on a regular basis from my understanding it’s not good for you even if you are not pregnant. I would definitely consult your doctor on this one. They can let you know if it’s safe and how much. They would be able to give you better advice than us ♥️

Answer

I was getting migraines all the time.  With my first pregnancy I went to my dentist and he gave me a mouth guard.  I stopped wearing it after my pregnancy and boom the headaches came back.

Answer

My doctor said it was fine as long as I follow the recommendation directions from Tylenol.

Answer

No and most if those things could be helped with magnesium which is safe, and seeing a good osteopath
