A member asked:
I have been taking 1-2 tylenol (acetaminophen) 3 a day for back pain and just found out i'm 3 weeks pregnant. could any harm be done to my baby?

Call your OB doctor: Tylenol (acetaminophen) is a pregnancy category C. Which means- Animal studies have shown risk to the fetus, there are no controlled studies in women, or studies in women are not available. I suggest you discuss this with your doctor
