Ex strength tylenol is all I suggest--.Dr might let you take something else, but you would have to ask him. Did they check on the baby? How far along are you? Under 4 months the baby is pretty safe within our body--bones-- even in bad car accidents. Seen it on discovery channel.

The tylenol won't hurt the baby? I'm under 8 weeks I still have to get the blood work to find out exactly how far along I am. I didnt go to the hospital but the ambulance checked me out I didnt have any stomache pains or anything so i'm sure the baby is fine.

Tylenol is the only pain pills we are allowed to take when pregnant--without a .Dr's authorization. No, but if you can get away with using regular strength only, I would do that.

I have a list from my midwife with all the over the counter medications that is safe for us to take while pregnant. The things on the list you should use only occasionally and as directed.
For aches and pain = acetaminpohen (tylenol extra strength, anacin 3)
cold= robitussin dm, benylin expectorants, sudafed, chlor trimeton allergy tablets or benadryl tablets, vicks vaporub, cough drops
indigestion/gas pain= maalox, rolaids, mylanta, gaviiscon
diarrhea= kaopectate or donnagel as directed
constipation= metamucial or citrucel, dulcolax or colace (sometimes)

i hope this helps, it helped me alot.

It depends on your ob (some won't allow even cough drops) but you can take regular strength tylenol. Some dr's will allow extra strength tylenol but you have to be sure to take it only as directed on the bottle. No more than that.

Did the ambulance at least monitor the baby's heart rate??? I would've demanded it!!! They can do it with a stethascope it just takes a minute...

I would call your Dr. And try to schedule an appt. A.S.A.P.....

The list that was given was the same as mine..Except the sudafed and cough drops are alloted on mine...Every Dr. Is different though.....

Good luck honey!!!
