Tylenol & Pregnancy: Safe Dosage & Exercise Guidelines


Question
I am 28, 0 kids, approx 6 weeks pregnant

Is it safe to take tylenol during pregnancy?  If so, how much, how often?

Also, is it safe to continue to jog and play sports?

Answer
Tylenol can be safely taken during pregnancy for aches and pains, and when you have a temperature of over 101 degrees F. The usual dose is 2 tablets every 4 hours. You can also take Extra Strength Tylenol every 4 hours also. (Extra Strength Tylenol is merely 1 1/2 regular strength).  You can also continue to job and engage in sports. Just remember that as the pregnancy progresses, your balance will become shaky Also, when you reach around 20 weeks gestation, you will no longer have a waist so bending may be difficult. Good Iuck.
