Specializes in Pain Management

Migraine - pregnancy: Headaches are a common complaint during pregnancy and most pregnant women can safely take Tylenol (acetaminophen). Most of the other medications used are problematic. .For more information bring up your concerns with your gynecologist or OB-GYN. Good luck.
