My obgyn said Tylenol is safe to take

Tylenol is one of the only things you can take. Start with 500mg every 4-6 hours, and I _think_ the max is 2000mg within 24 hours, but I might not be remembering that max right. Is it a migraine or just headache?

Ok so, I’m not a doctor but I spent 4 days with very debilitating migraines and I was told by a family member to take Benadryl (for kids) and 2 Excedrin pills. And those 2 combined broke the migraine!!! If the headaches persist you should get your blood pressure checked and speak with your doctor/midwife

I want to second what said and add more info. I have had migraines as long as I can remember. The general migraine cocktail is Benadryl, caffeine, Tylenol, lots of water and/or an electrolyte drink like pedialyte, and sleep. Excedrin is just a combination of Tylenol and caffeine.

Tylenol is safe. I’ve been sick twice in my first trimester (before 12 weeks) and taken it without issues (I’m 20 weeks now and baby is healthy on all tests). The further along you are the less risks too so don’t suffer if you don’t need to!

Yes Tylenol is safe my OB also told me about magnesium powder called calm that can help with headaches.

Thank you so much everyone for the very helpful suggestions ❤️❤️🙏

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

I am so done with pregnancy !

Everything i do hurt . I sit down / i stand up / i walk / i lie down. I am in pain ! I am tired ! His mouvement hurt down there like electricity chock ! My back is on fire ! If i walk more then 5 minutes i feel like i am going to die ( low ferritine) the acid reflux is crazy . I mean i can’t and don’t wanna do this no more . Only 31 weeks !

Almost 37 weeks + told to do another growth scan

I just had my second to last doctor’s appointment this morning, and my OB told me she wants me to do another growth scan because my belly is measuring small. She says it’s probably just because I’m a smaller woman, but they like to be safe. It’s hard to hear though, since I just did one a couple months ago.

I did this with my firstborn around this time of pregnancy, so I do think I just carry smaller (even though I don’t feel like I look “small” at all). My first baby was 6lbs 15oz when she was born at 41 weeks + 2 days. I’m having this baby at 39 weeks on April 7. I hope she’s still at least 6lbs.

Anyone have any stories similar to this?
