Yeah ^ it's all about what it does to your blood in your body! Only Tylenol is allowed.

Tylenol only, ibuprofen is a blood thinner which is why it's not recommended.

Tylenol is what they tell you to take. ask your dr for a list of medications you are allowrd to take, she or he should have a print out for you.

Oh My gosh no no please don't take any more . I took when I was like 14 weeks and only 2 and the dr freaked out on me telling me it can either cause a miscarriage or problems in the baby, like retardation or etc. One time isn't gonna likely do much but if you take more it can. Tylenol is the safe medicine.

I don't know why its not allowed, but I recommend if you're in pain to take regular strength Tylenol. My midwife told me thats safe to take during pregnancy.
