O man i dont know what to do. would it be sfe to take or not? please any advice would help me!!! Thanks

If you are pregnant and in pain tylenol is the way to go. Asprin and Ibuprofen aren't recommended for pregnancy.  Acetomeniphen (tylenol) is the only safe pain reliever when pregnant. If you go to most pregnancy web sites Asprin and IB are on the do not take lists.  My favorite is www.pregnancy.org. Hope this helps.
