POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due in 1 month2 months agoA. Yes, paracetamol (acetaminophen) is generally considered safe during pregnancy, including at 13 weeks, for relieving headaches, body pain, or fever. It’s the most commonly recommended pain reliever for pregnant women.
✅ Guidelines: Use the lowest effective dose (usually 500 mg to 1000 mg). Do not exceed 3–4 grams (3000–4000 mg) in 24 hours. Take it only when needed and not regularly without medical advice.
However, if your headache is severe, frequent, or unusual, or if you're taking any other medication or have health conditions (like high blood pressure), it’s best to consult your doctor to rule out underlying causes like pregnancy-related migraines or preeclampsia.
Let me know if you have any other symptoms.
