No FDA category: When pregnant, it's always a good idea to run everything past your OB or Family Doc if s/he is providing your prenatal care. Acetaminophen has not been categorized by FDA w/regards to pregnancy safety (http://www.drugs.com/pregnancy/acetaminophen.html). With that said, acetaminophen is generally considered safe assuming you don't take in excess, drink alcohol in excess or have underlying liver dz
