A member asked:

Hi..m 8wk preg.is tylenol (acetaminophen) safe in 1st trimester for body ache..wat else can be done for back and limb ache?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: I recommend Tylenol (acetaminophen). Avoid NSAIDS such as Ibuprofen, Advil, Aleve which can be harmful. You can try a warm bath and also heating pads. If this does not help, bring your symptoms up at your next appointment. Best of luck!
