Finding safe and effective headache relief during pregnancy can be challenging. The type of medication that is safe to take during pregnancy depends on the stage of pregnancy and the severity of the headache. In the first trimester, acetaminophen (Tylenol) is generally considered safe for occasional use. In the second and third trimesters, acetaminophen and ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) are both considered safe for occasional use.
It is important to note that all medications, including over-the-counter medications, should be taken with caution during pregnancy. Always talk to your doctor before taking any medication, including herbal remedies or supplements.
